No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is to investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with trans-spinal electrical stimulation (tsES) intervention on cortical excitability, brain structure, motor ability of lower limb in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury. Twelve participants will be recruited in this study.

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injuries

Interventions

DEVICE

20 Hz rTMS (Brain)

Higher frequency (\>5 Hz) trains increase cortical excitability.

DEVICE

iTBS rTMS (Brain)

Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is a newer rTMS approach.

DEVICE

Anode tsDCS (Spinal)

Anodal tsDCS increased the spinal reflex amplitude, as well as corticospinal excitability.

DEVICE

20 Hz current square-wave pulses (Spinal)

Higher frequency (\>5 Hz) of current increase cortical excitability.

DEVICE

iTBS (Spinal)

Intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) is a newer approach. it may increase corticospinal excitability.

DEVICE

sham

with sham stimulation on brain and spinal.
