May 20, 2024, 03:32 PM

A new non-invasive spinal cord stimulator developed by Onward Medical has shown promising results in aiding the recovery of people with spinal injuries. The device, known as ARC-EX, uses a 10 kilohertz current to numb the skin and provide stronger electrical stimulation. In a clinical trial, the stimulator improved hand and arm function in 72% of participants, including 43 individuals with tetraplegia. Approximately 18,000 people suffer from spinal cord injuries each year, and this extraordinary device could significantly enhance their rehabilitation process when paired with rehab. The results of the trial were published in Nature Medicine.
