Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Genders Eligible for Study
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Be less than 8 weeks post injury
- Must have an incomplete spinal cord injury at a neurological level of injury between the C2-C6 level and an impairment grade A, B, C, or D, according to the American Spinal Injury association (ASIA) Impairment Scale
- If an outpatient, will be at least 6 months post injury
Exclusion Criteria:
- Have a pacemaker
- Have metal in the skull
- Have a history of seizures, or a brain injury
- Being pregnant
- Have skin issues or open wounds
- Have severe contractures and/or spasms in my elbow/wrists as determined by study staff examination at screening
- Study staff will review medications to determine if taking any drugs that would increase risk of having a seizure while undergoing TMS. If taking such medications, will not be enrolled

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
EXPERIMENTAL: SCI Group
Complete testing at Baseline, Post, and 6 month follow up. Intervention includes 15 treatment sessions (3-5 times per week) with HF-rTMS & 6 month follow-up. Following HF-rTMS, there will be 30 minutes of arm and hand training. Each session will last for approximately 60 mins. At baseline, post and 6 months, the following evaluations to evaluate safety and other related measures. These measures include a safety and pain questionnaire, spasticity measurement, a physician or clinician evaluation to determine motor and sensory neurological level of injury, hand and arm function measurement, evaluation of ability to perform everyday tasks, and measures to determine level of brain function. |
TMS is an investigational device that provides a way to test the function of a specific part of the brain that is devoted to moving my affected upper limbs by directing a low electrical current to that part of the brain through the scalp.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Neuro Recovery Scale (NRS).
Time Frame: 6 months
|
Measure of the degree a person who has sustained a spinal cord injury (SCI) has recovered the ability to perform functional tasks relative to how the individual performed these tasks prior to injury.
The NRS consists of a numeric version of the visual analog scale.
The most common form of the NRS is a horizontal line with an eleven point numeric range.
It is labeled from zero to ten, with zero being an example of someone with no pain and ten being the worst pain possible.
This type of scale can be administered verbally.

GRASSP
Time Frame: 6 months
|
The Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength, Sensibility and Prehension (GRASSP) is an extensive and validated impairment and functional measure which is able to detect subtle neurologic changes in individuals with spinal cord injury. Specifically, it evaluates the domains of sensation, strength, quality of different grip patterns and the ability to complete a variety of functional tasks. |
