Study on Preliminary Safety and Efficacy of the ARC Therapy Using the ARC-IM Lumbar System to Support Mobility in People With Chronic Spinal Cord Injury


Sponsor

Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne

Enrollment

Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this pre-market clinical study is to assess the preliminary safety and efficacy of the ARC Therapy using the ARC-IM Lumbar System at supporting mobility in participants who have previously received a spinal array and an implantable pulse generator (IPG) either through the STIMO protocol (NCT02936453) or similar studies conducted abroad. They will be proposed to exchange their currently implanted system with components of the newly developed ARC-IM Lumbar system. The goal is to improve more effective lower-limb motor activities, while also simplifying the personal at-home use of the system. In addition, this study aims to evaluate the potential effect of ARC Therapy on muscle tone, bladder, bowel and sexual functions, and quality of life of the participants. Preliminary safety and efficacy will be assessed in both the short term and throughout the duration of the study (from the surgery to 36 months after the implantation of the ARC-IM Lumbar system).
