Ninety percent of paralyzed patients regained strength or function in their upper limbs after receiving an experimental therapy, a new study found. After receiving spinal cord simulation from ONWARD ...

Stimulation sends targeted electrical signals to sensory nerve fibers in the spinal cord to enhance communication between the brain and weakened muscles. The same class of device has been used for ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease. An intervention, ...

A noninvasive spinal stimulation device safely improves upper-extremity function in people with a cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), results of a prospective nonsignificant risk trial suggest. The ...

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

In a recent study published in Science Advances, a research team led by Profs. Dai Jianwu and Zhao Yannan at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of ...

They were all suffering from acute complete to incomplete spinal cord injury in the neck region (so called tetraplegia that also affects the arm and hand functions). 78 people were treated with the ...

There is a new hope for people with spinal cord injuries. Doctors are using an experimental, easy to deliver drug, with surprising results. A Chicago are a patient who got the drug says it’s nothing ...

Timed release of therapeutic molecules from a soft nanofiber-hydrogel implant supports nerve regrowth and circuit repair after spinal injury, restoring movement and bladder control in preclinical ...
