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 ...

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

In a small human trial in SMA patients neurostimulation sessions improved motoneuron function, reduced fatigue, and improved leg muscle strength and walking.

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease.

Early results from a pilot clinical trial in three human volunteers with SMA show that one month of regular neurostimulation sessions improved motoneuron function ... nerve cells that control movement ...

The spinal cord is the bundle of nerve tissue that extends from your brain and runs ... Some of the lumbar spine's most important functions include: If you have any of these symptoms, you should see a ...

This delay contributed to the late diagnosis of BI and C1–C2 spinal cord compression ... Nevertheless, the worsening motor function and the presence of torticollis increased suspicion of BI or other ...
