Combined rTMS and tSCS for Upper Limb Recovery in Cervical SCI

8 maggio 2026 aggiornato da: National University Hospital, Singapore

Combined Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation for Upper Limb Recovery in Chronic Incomplete Cervical Spinal Cord Injury: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

This clinical trial investigates whether combining cortical and spinal neuromodulation can improve upper limb motor recovery in adults with chronic incomplete cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). Restoring upper limb function is the top rehabilitation priority for individuals with tetraplegia, yet effective interventions remain limited.

The study combines transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS), which enhances spinal circuit excitability, with intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation that increases cortical excitability and strengthens descending motor pathways. While each approach has shown independent promise, their combined use has not been evaluated in a controlled trial.

Eligible participants are adults aged 21-65 with chronic (>12 months post-injury) incomplete cervical SCI (ASIA Impairment Scale grade C or D, levels C2-C8). A total of 24 participants will be randomised 1:1 to either combined iTBS and tSCS plus standardised upper limb rehabilitation, or tSCS plus rehabilitation alone, across 24 sessions over 12 weeks.

The primary outcome is change in Upper Extremity Motor Score from baseline to week 12. Secondary outcomes cover functional performance, independence, spasticity, corticospinal excitability, quality of life, and goal attainment. Assessments occur at baseline, post-intervention, and at 4- and 12-week follow-up.

As a pilot randomised controlled trial, this study will generate the first controlled evidence on adjunctive cortical neuromodulation alongside tSCS-based rehabilitation, while also producing feasibility data to inform the design of a future definitive multicentre trial.

Descrizione dettagliata

Background: Cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) results in severe upper limb impairment, with restoration of hand and arm function ranked as the highest rehabilitation priority by individuals with tetraplegia. Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has emerged as a promising approach for enhancing upper limb recovery. Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), an efficient form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, can enhance cortical excitability and descending motor drive. However, the benefit of combining these complementary neuromodulation modalities to simultaneously target supraspinal and spinal circuits has not been evaluated in a controlled trial.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of combined cortical neuromodulation (iTBS) and spinal neuromodulation (tSCS) versus tSCS alone, each paired with standardized upper limb rehabilitation, for improving upper limb motor function in chronic incomplete cervical SCI.

Methods: This single-center, two-arm, assessor-blinded, pilot randomized controlled trial will enroll 24 adults aged 21 to 65 years with chronic (more than 12 months post-injury) incomplete cervical SCI (American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale grade C or D, neurological level C2 to C8). Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either iTBS combined with tSCS plus standardized upper limb rehabilitation or tSCS plus upper limb rehabilitation alone. Interventions will be delivered twice weekly for 12 weeks (24 sessions). The primary outcome is the change in Upper Extremity Motor Score from baseline to 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes include measures of upper limb function, independence, spasticity, corticospinal excitability, quality of life, and goal attainment. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and at 4-week and 12-week follow-up.

Conclusions: This pilot trial will provide the first controlled evidence on whether adjunctive cortical neuromodulation via iTBS produces additional upper limb motor recovery beyond tSCS-based rehabilitation in chronic incomplete cervical SCI. Feasibility data and effect size estimates will inform the design of a subsequent multicenter confirmatory trial.

  • Injury type: Traumatic or non-traumatic incomplete cervical SCI, neurological level C2 to C8

  • Hand function: Able to transfer at least 1 block across the partition within 60 seconds on the more impaired side.

Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: iTBS combined with tSCS plus standardized upper limb rehabilitation

Interventions are delivered twice weekly for 12 weeks (24 sessions): iTBS over M1 followed by combined tSCS plus upper limb rehabilitation (45-60 min).

tSCS uses a constant-current stimulator with 5×10 cm electrodes at C3-C4 and/or C6-C7, with reference electrodes over the ASIS or clavicles. Parameters: biphasic pulses at 30 Hz, 1 ms pulses with 10 kHz carrier frequency, intensity 40-120 mA, delivered continuously for ~45 minutes.

iTBS is delivered over the M1 hand area contralateral to the more impaired limb. Protocol: 600 pulses (3-pulse bursts at 50 Hz, repeated at 5 Hz, 80% AMT over 3-4 minutes.

Upper limb rehabilitation follows immediately, supervised by a physiotherapist and occupational therapist, based on the Up-LIFT trial protocol. Sessions include reaching, finger movements, pinch, grip, bimanual coordination, and individualised functional tasks, with difficulty progressed systematically.
Dispositivo: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that enhances cortical excitability and corticospinal drive. Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a brief patterned form of rTMS, produces lasting facilitatory effects and is more time-efficient. Evidence indicates rTMS improves motor function, reduces spasticity, and enhances neuroplasticity in SCI.
Dispositivo: Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation
Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that delivers electrical stimulation over the spine to activate sensory afferents and enhance spinal motor circuit excitability. Early studies showed it can enable voluntary movement even in motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI), with subsequent research demonstrating improvements in motor function, standing, and walking in incomplete SCI. Evidence suggests tSCS modulates both spinal and corticospinal pathways, supporting neuroplasticity. The Up-LIFT trial (2024) provided strong clinical evidence, showing that tSCS combined with rehabilitation significantly improved upper limb strength and function in chronic cervical SCI, with 72% of participants meeting effectiveness endpoints and no serious adverse events. Later studies confirmed its safety in home and community settings, though standardization and larger trials remain needed.
Comparatore attivo: tSCS plus standardized upper limb rehabilitation only

Interventions are delivered twice weekly for 12 weeks (24 sessions).

tSCS uses a constant-current stimulator with 5×10 cm electrodes at C3-C4 and/or C6-C7, with reference electrodes over the ASIS or clavicles. Parameters: biphasic pulses at 30 Hz, 1 ms pulses with 10 kHz carrier frequency, intensity 40-120 mA, delivered continuously for ~45 minutes. The carrier frequency reduces skin discomfort and enables deeper dorsal root activation.
