Summary

The UAE-PRIME Study is a feasibility study designed to assess the initial clinical safety and functionality of the Neuralink N1 Implant and R1 Robot. This study involves participants who have tetraparesis, tetraplegia, or a diagnosis that may lead to these conditions.

The N1 Implant is a wireless, rechargeable device mounted on the skull, connected to electrode threads that are inserted into the brain by the R1 Robot, which is a robotic device specifically designed for this procedure.

Conditions

  • Tetraplegia/Tetraparesis
  • Quadriplegia
  • Quadriplegia/Tetraplegia
  • Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
  • Spinal Cord Injury (Quadraplegia)
  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Motor Neuron Disease
  • Brain Stem Stroke
