Spinal cord stimulators are mainly used to treat chronic back pain, especially when other less invasive treatments have not ...

For chronic pain patients, though, the brain interprets even neutral sensations as pain and suffering. In effect, pain ...

Nerves look blue in the reconstructed view of a genetically engineered mouse (left) whose neurons produce a fluorescent ...

Rats exhibit significant recovery of locomotor function following incomplete spinal cord injuries, albeit with altered gait expression and reduced speed and stepping frequency. These changes likely ...

There are over 15 million people living with spinal cord injury (SCI) worldwide. Experimental treatments using electrical stimulation through the skin may help some patients regain movement, but ...

In a new clinical study, researchers from the Texas Biomedical Device Center (TxBDC) at The University of Texas at Dallas demonstrated unprecedented rates of recovery for spinal cord injuries.

A Swiss research center is trying to use innovative technology to help restore bodily functions for paralyzed patients—and even help Parkinson's patients walk smoothly again.

A lab develops brain wave decoder that may help in spinal cord injury rehabilitation.

Because the brain is functioning normally, as is the spinal cord below the injury, researchers have been working to re-establish the communication to allow for rehabilitation and potentially ...
