This study is testing the BrainGate2 Neural Interface System, which involves placing small sensors into the part of the brain that controls movement. The goal is to see if people with tetraplegia (paralysis affecting all four limbs) due to conditions like spinal cord injury, ALS, or brainstem stroke can use their thoughts to control a computer cursor and other assistive devices. Researchers want to make sure the BrainGate2 system is safe, which will be evaluated one year after the sensors are put in. The study is currently looking for up to 27 participants between 18 and 80 years old who live within a three-hour drive of the study site and have complete or incomplete tetraplegia. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 27 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.

What's involved

Participants will have up to six BrainGate2 sensors placed into their motor-related cortex. Neural recordings will be made at least weekly for a year or more.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Safety will be evaluated one year after the sensors are implanted.
