Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Study

Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2015
This study will investigate how repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation delivered as a protocol called \'continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS)\' alters motor output and force control to a muscle in the forearm and touch perception in individuals with chronic, incomplete spinal cord injury. CTBS is a non-invasive technique that involved repetitive delivery of transcranial magnetic stimulation at a frequency of 30 Hz over the arm representation in the primary motor or sensory cortex. The purpose of this study is to determine whether cTBS is an effective intervention to increase motor output to a muscle and increase force control of that muscle and also improve the sense of touch.
