Summary
This trial will study the effects of the BQ EMF treatment on subjects with chronic SCI who have stable GRASSP scores after a month of physical therapy.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-75 with chronic cervical incomplete spinal cord injury, stable enough to follow directions and engage in physical therapy. They must have a specific strength score (5-35 on GRASSP) and be able to move their shoulders to a certain degree. Pregnant women or those with severe cognitive issues, drug addiction, excessive pain/spasticity, recent botulinum toxin treatments, epilepsy, or implanted electronic devices cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of BQ EMF treatment on patients with chronic spinal cord injuries who are stable after a month of physical therapy. The focus is on whether this electromagnetic field treatment can improve motor functions as measured by the GRASSP strength score.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed in the provided information, potential side effects may include discomfort at the site of application or other reactions related to electromagnetic field exposure; however these will be monitored throughout the trial.
