Epidural Electrical Stimulation in Spinal Cord Injury (T11-L3)
About this trial
This trial is enrolling 10 participants with spinal cord injury to test the effect of epidural spinal stimulation (eSS) combined with standard rehabilitation therapy on motor and sensory function. eSS is an invasive technique that uses implanted electrodes placed next to the spinal cord to deliver electrical stimulation aimed at modifying spinal cord function. If included, participants will undergo surgical implantation of an eSS device and receive individualized stimulation programming. Final testing of motor and sensory function will be performed 6 months after device implantation.
