A new electrical stimulation therapy for spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) has shown promise in reactivating motor neurons and ...
A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal ...
An intervention, which involves electrical stimulation of the sensory spinal nerves, can gradually reawaken functionally silent motor neurons in the spinal cord and improve leg muscle strength and ...
In a small human trial in SMA patients neurostimulation sessions improved motoneuron function, reduced fatigue, and improved leg muscle strength and walking.
Under this condition, which can result from traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems, or could be inherited due to ...
The cranial and spinal nerves of the PNS connect sensory and motor fibers of the trunk and limbs to the spinal cord and brain. Neurons in the posterior (dorsal) section of the spinal cord develop ...
