Participants in the Trial
Up to 12 people with a very specific type of spinal cord injury are currently being sought for the trial. The requirements include:
- People with “complete” thoracic level spinal cord injuries (which is defined as having an absence of motor and sensory function below the level of the spinal cord injury). Only a minority of patients have this type of injury as the thoracic spinal cord is protected from injury by the structure of the rib cage.
- Age 18 and 35 years.
- People who received their spinal cord injury between two and seven years ago.
- Otherwise in good health.
People who would like to participate and believe they may fit the selection criteria are asked to contact the SCSNZ Clinical Research Team.
