Summary

This trial aims to show that people with tetraplegia can use their thoughts to control a computer and other devices, increasing independence.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-80 with tetraplegia due to conditions like ALS, spinal cord injury, or stroke. They must be unable to speak clearly or at all but have one reliable way to communicate. Participants should live within a three-hour drive of the study site and are expected to survive more than six months.
What is being tested?
The BrainGate2 Neural Interface System is being tested for its safety and ability to let people with severe paralysis control a computer cursor and other devices using their thoughts alone.
What are the potential side effects?
As this trial tests a neural interface system, potential side effects may include discomfort at the implantation site, headache, infection risk from surgery, and possible device-related complications.
