Summary

This is a research study to evaluate the safety, efficacy and feasibility of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS) in patients with subacute spinal cord injury.

Detailed description

This research study is investigating whether repetitive high-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS) in patients with subacute spinal cord injury is safe, efficacious, and feasible. The study will take approximately 7-8 months to complete, during which 15 training sessions with HF-rTMS will be completed. Followed by 30 minutes each session of arm and hand training without HF-rTMS. The participants will complete testing after the 15 training sessions as well as 6 months following completion.

Conditions

• Spinal Cord Injuries

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation	TMS is an investigational device that provides a way to test the function of a specific part of the brain that is devoted to moving my affected upper limbs by directing a low electrical current to that part of the brain through the scalp.
