Brain-controlled spinal cord stimulation in patients with spinal cord injury.
Zusammenfassung der Studie
This protocol aims to study the safety and preliminary efficacy of a brain-controlled spinal cord stimulation device in paraplegic patients. It targets patients who have previously experienced spinal cord stimulation for motor improvement during the STIMO protocol (SNCTP000001953: "Efficacy of Spinal Epidural Electrical Stimulation (EES) in Combination With Robot-assisted Neurorehabilitation in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury (STIMO)").

Inclusion Criteria:
- Having completed the main phase of the STIMO study (NCT02936453).
- SCI graded as American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) A, B, C & D
- Level of lesion: T10 and above, based on AIS level determination by the PI, with
preservation of conus function
- The intact distance between the cone and the lesion must be at least 60 mm.
- Focal spinal cord disorder caused by either trauma or epidural, subdural or
intramedullary bleeding
- Minimum 12 months post-injury

- Adequate care-giver support and access to appropriate medical care in patient's home
community
- Must agree to comply in good faith with all conditions of the study and to attend
all required study training and visit
- Must provide and sign the Informed Consent prior to any study related procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
- Limitation of walking function based on accompanying (CNS) disorders (systemic
malignant disorders, cardiovascular disorders restricting physical training,
peripheral nerve disorders)
- History of severe autonomic dysreflexia
- Brain damage
- Epilepsy
- Spinal stenosis
- Use of an intrathecal Baclofen pump.
- Any active implanted cardiac device such as pacemaker or defibrillator.
- Any indication that would require diathermy.
- Any indication that would require MRI.
- Increased risk for defibrillation.
- Severe joint contractures disabling or restricting lower limb movements.
- Haematological disorders with increased risk for surgical interventions (increased
risk of haemorrhagic events).
- Congenital or acquired lower limb abnormalities (affection of joints and bone).
- Women who are pregnant (pregnancy test obligatory for women of childbearing
potential) or breast feeding or not willing to take contraception.

- Known or suspected eye disorders or diseases
- Other clinically significant concomitant disease states (e.g., renal failure,
hepatic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, etc.)
- Any other anatomic or co-morbid conditions that, in the investigator's opinion,
could limit the patient's ability to participate in the study or to comply with
follow-up requirements, or impact the scientific soundness of the study results (ICTRP)
