Clinical Trial Summary

This is a research study to evaluate the safety, efficacy and feasibility of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS) in patients with subacute spinal cord injury.


Description:

This research study is investigating whether repetitive high-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS) in patients with subacute spinal cord injury is safe, efficacious, and feasible. The study will take approximately 7-8 months to complete, during which 15 training sessions with HF-rTMS will be completed. Followed by 30 minutes each session of arm and hand training without HF-rTMS. The participants will complete testing after the 15 training sessions as well as 6 months following completion.

Device:
High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
TMS is an investigational device that provides a way to test the function of a specific part of the brain that is devoted to moving my affected upper limbs by directing a low electrical current to that part of the brain through the scalp.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Neuro Recovery Scale (NRS). Measure of the degree a person who has sustained a spinal cord injury (SCI) has recovered the ability to perform functional tasks relative to how the individual performed these tasks prior to injury. The NRS consists of a numeric version of the visual analog scale. The most common form of the NRS is a horizontal line with an eleven point numeric range. It is labeled from zero to ten, with zero being an example of someone with no pain and ten being the worst pain possible. This type of scale can be administered verbally. 6 months
Primary GRASSP The Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength, Sensibility and Prehension (GRASSP) is an extensive and validated impairment and functional measure which is able to detect subtle neurologic changes in individuals with spinal cord injury.
Specifically, it evaluates the domains of sensation, strength, quality of different grip patterns and the ability to complete a variety of functional tasks.
