ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a new, non-invasive way to help improve arm and hand movement in people who have difficulties after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The treatment uses gentle electrical stimulation applied through pads placed on the skin over the upper back. Researchers want to see if this stimulation can make muscles stronger, improve movement control, and reduce muscle stiffness. The goal is to learn if this approach could lead to better treatments in the future, possibly using implanted devices, to help people with TBI regain more independence and improve their daily lives.
People of all genders who have motor difficulties following a TBI might be eligible to participate, although specific age details will be clarified during recruitment. Participants will receive the electrical stimulation through sticky pads on their skin and will be asked to complete simple tests that measure their arm and hand strength, movement, and muscle tightness. This study is not yet recruiting, but it offers hope for new ways to support recovery after brain injury.
