This study is looking into whether a home-based program using transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation (tSCS) is practical and helpful for people with tetraplegia (paralysis affecting all four limbs) after a spinal cord injury. The tSCS device delivers neurostimulation (electrical signals to nerves) to help with upper body training. You would use the device at home for 8 weeks, with support through video calls. The study wants to see how easy the technology is to use and how satisfied participants are with it. It also aims to see if this program can improve upper body function. To join, you need to be a veteran between 18 and 65, have a cervical spinal cord injury (C2-8) that happened more than a year ago, and be able to have a companion help with the device setup. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 10 participants.

Study design

This is an interventional study that plans to enroll 10 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.

What's involved

You would use a neurostimulation unit at home for 2 months, performing a prescribed upper extremity home program. You will also have video-telehealth support.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Feasibility and satisfaction will be measured at 8 weeks, after the home program is completed.
