Comparing an updated non-invasive spinal stimulation device with the current device

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Researchers will apply non-invasive spinal stimulation to healthy adult volunteers using both the updated device and the currently used device to compare performance and tolerability. Participants who meet screening criteria will attend a testing session where device settings, participant comfort, and any immediate physiological responses will be recorded. The protocol focuses on safety, participant experience, and technical performance rather than therapeutic effect. Data will inform whether the updated device addresses specific limitations of the existing device and is suitable for future use in spinal cord injury research.
