Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effects of Systematic, Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Rehabilitation After Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: Neuromuscular Adaptations and Recovery of Lower Limb Muscle Strength
The project will investigate whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can be used to potentiate/prime spinal cord injured patients' nervous systems for more intense rehabilitation exercise of longer duration - thus leading to greater recovery of motion function. The technique, in which a magnetic coil is positioned above the scalp and forms a magnetic field that activates the desired center of the brain (eg motor cortex), is used in clinical practice for the treatment of a number of disorders. However, although a combination of rTMS and gait training in SCI patients previously has proven beneficial, it is unknown whether additional functional gains can be achieved by combining rTMS and supervised, high-intensity resistance training. In this project, 30 newly-admitted patients will be recruited and randomized to receive either active rTMS and strength training (n = 15) or sham (imitated) rTMS + strength training, in parallel with standard care. The investigators hypothesize that the active rTMS group will have superior gains in locomotor function and muscle mass, compared to the sham group.
