Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary effectiveness of the N1 System, a fully implanted brain-computer interface placed in the motor cortex with the R1 Robot. The study builds on knowledge gained in a previous clinical investigation of this system. It enrolls adults with severe upper-limb impairment from spinal cord injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or chronic ischemic stroke. Participants use neural signals recorded by the N1 Implant to control a computer cursor or virtual keyboard. The study will describe serious adverse device effects and will assess digital daily activities, computer-control performance, independent use of the system, and participant-, clinician-, and caregiver-reported outcomes. Up to 10 participants will be enrolled at up to five sites in the United States and followed for about 2 years after implantation, or about 3 years if they choose extended follow-up. There is no comparison group; each participant's results are compared with their own baseline.
