Efficacy of a Brain-Computer Interface Controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury Neurorehabilitation
Sponsor: Instituto Nacional de Rehabilitacion
Summary
The study's main goal is to determine the efficacy of a therapy with brain-computer interface controlled functional electrical stimulation for neurorehabilitation of spinal cord injury patients' upper limbs. For this purpose, a randomized controlled trial will be performed to compare the clinical and physiological effects of the brain-computer interface therapy with those of a sham intervention comprised by the application of functional electrical stimulation independently of brain-computer interface control.

Conditions
Interventions
Brain-Computer Interface
Hand movement will be elicited using functional electrical stimulation activated by the brain-computer interface based on hand movement intention.
Sham Brain-Computer Interface
Hand movement will be elicited using functional electrical stimulation which activation will be independent of the brain-computer interface based on hand movement intention.
