Combined neuromodulation techniques via a central-peripheral-central strategy facilitate functional recovery from AIS A to AIS C in a patient with complete spinal cord injury: A case report.

CONTEXT Complete spinal cord injury (SCI) has traditionally been considered irreversible. However, accumulating evidence suggests that subclinical neural pathways may persist. Multimodal combined neuromodulation targeting brain-spinal-peripheral circuits holds promise to unlock latent neural plasticity, but clinical ev...

Restoration of volitional lower-limb movement after motor-complete spinal cord injury with brain-spine interface.

BACKGROUND Spinal cord injury (SCI) interrupts volitional control of lower limbs. Brain-spine interfaces (BSIs), which decode cortical motor intent to trigger epidural electrical stimulation (EES), can provide an artificial pathway linking the brain to spinal motor circuits. Reported benefit, however, has been confined...

Reactivating Residual Motor Circuits in Complete Spinal Cord Injury Through Mode- and Site-Specific Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Recovery after motor complete spinal cord injury (cSCI) remains limited, though spared fibers and latent neural circuits may support neuroplasticity. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) induces LTP like plasticity, however their comparative efficacy in cS...

Effect of epidural spinal cord stimulation combined with personalized neurorehabilitation in chronic motor-complete spinal cord injury: study protocol for the phase II single-arm feasibility RESTORES (RESToration Of Rehabilitative function with Epidural spinal Stimulation) trial

Background Chronic motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI) results in profound neurological disability with minimal prospects for functional recovery using conventional rehabilitation strategies. Emerging evidence suggests that epidural spinal cord stimulation (eSCS) can activate dormant spinal locomotor networks and r...

Cervical epidural spinal cord stimulation is associated with enhanced voluntary upper-limb muscle activation in chronic post-stroke hemiparesis: a pilot feasibility study

Upper-limb hemiparesis is a prevalent and often refractory sequela of stroke, and conventional rehabilitation approaches often yield limited long-term gains in the chronic phase. Cervical epidural electrical stimulation (EES) has emerged as a promising precision neurorehabilitation strategy to amplify residual corticos...

Stimulation-associated motor and functional improvement after epidural spinal cord stimulation in chronic spinal cord injury secondary to spinal ependymoma: A case report.

CONTEXT Chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) secondary to spinal tumors may cause persistent motor and sensory dysfunction despite surgical treatment and rehabilitation. Ependymomas are the most common intramedullary spinal tumors in adults, but long-standing neurological deficits after tumor surgery are difficult to treat...
