Short-Term Transcutaneous or Epidural Spinal Stimulation for Enabling Motor Function in Humans With SCI

Kristin Zhao, PhD, Mayo Clinic

Brief Summary

A study comparing short-term delivery of epidural spinal stimulation versus transcutaneous spinal stimulation.

The purpose of this study is to compare spinal motor nerve response to electrical stimulation delivered directly to the epidural space, and delivered through the skin (transcutaneously), and to measure any changes in motor performance over the course of about 5 months, during and after using one of the two types of stimulation.
