Official title
Maximizing Spike - Timing Dependent Plasticity After Spinal Cord Injury
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The overall goal is to develop new clinical approaches to restore limb function after spinal cord injury (SCI). Corticospinal tract (CST) axons are involved in controlling limb function. Paired pulse induced spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) enhances synaptic strength between residual CST axons and spinal motoneurons (SMNs) resulting in temporary improvements in limb function in humans with incomplete SCI. Motor training will be combined with paired-pulse STDP stimulation to further enhance plasticity and behavioral recovery.
