New treatment option for Spinal Cord Injury
Official title Clinical Outcome Assessment for AT & BCI
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07407725
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Many individuals with severe motor impairments rely on Assistive Technologies (ATs) or Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) to interact with digital devices such as their computers. Clinicians and researchers currently lack a common framework to objectively quantify how much a given AT or BCI improves real-world function or to compare across tools.
