Combined TMS-tSCS for Lower Limb Rehabilitation in Chronic Incomplete SCI

Brief Summary

he goal of this clinical trial is to learn if combined brain and spinal cord stimulation using TMS-tSCS can improve leg strength and walking recovery in adults with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does combined TMS-tSCS improve lower limb motor function more than tSCS alone? Is combined TMS-tSCS safe and does it improve walking speed, independence, muscle activity, spasticity, and nerve pathway function? Researchers will compare combined TMS-tSCS with tSCS alone with sham TMS to see if adding brain stimulation leads to better recovery than spinal stimulation alone. Participants will: Attend 32 treatment sessions over 16 weeks. Receive either combined TMS-tSCS or tSCS with sham TMS. Undergo assessments of leg strength, walking speed, daily function, muscle stiffness, muscle activity, and nerve pathway function before and after treatment.
