Efficacy of rTMS Treatment After Spinal Cord Injury
Investigating the Efficacy of rTMS Treatment in Improving Motor Function After Spinal Cord Injury: A Placebo-controlled Study
Oslo University Hospital
20 participants
Jan 15, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
There is accumulating evidence that neuromodulation by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the motor cortex holds promise as a treatment for rehabilitation of motor function following a spinal cord injury. This study is designed to assess the clinical potential of non-invasive stimulation of the primary motor cortex to improve motor functions.The results will help to evaluate the clinical relevance of motor cortex stimulation for motor functions in patients with spinal cord injury. The outcomes of this study could potentially support the initiation of a larger clinical trial and the development of a new routine treatment.

Interventions
Intermittent Theta burst stimulation will be delivered on the on the primary motor cortex using a figure-of-eight coil, supported by neuronavigation. The stimulation intensity will be set to 90% of the motor threshold
The placebo coil looks identical to the active coil but it only delivers skin tingling and no active brain stimulation.
