Brain-controlled Spinal Cord Stimulation in Participants With Chronic Stroke for Lower and Upper Limb Rehabilitation

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the preliminary safety and effectiveness of using a cortical recording device (ECoG) combined with cervical and lumbar targeted epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the spinal cord to restore voluntary motor functions of upper and lower limbs in participants with chronic stroke suffering from mobility impairment. The goal is to establish a direct bridge between the motor intention of the participant and the spinal cord, which should not only improve or restore voluntary control of arm and leg movement and support immediate mobility, but also promote neurological recovery when combined with neurorehabilitation.

Study on Preliminary Safety and Efficacy of the ARC-IM Therapy to Alleviate Locomotor Deficits in People With Parkinson's Disease

The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the preliminary safety and efficacy of the ARC-IM spinal cord stimulation therapy in alleviating locomotor deficits in individuals with Parkinson's disease. The ARC-IM Therapy employs epidural electrical stimulation (EES) to modulate leg muscle recruitment, with the aim of improving mobility deficits. The ultimate goal is to enhance the quality of life of people with Parkinson's disease.

Brain Controlled Spinal Cord Stimulation in Participants With Cervical Spinal Cord Injury for Upper Limb Rehabilitation

Cervical spinal cord stimulation can elicit arm and hand movements through recruitment of proprioceptive neurons in the dorsal roots. In participants with cervical spinal cord injury, the spare roots bellow the lesion can be used to reactivate motor function. Decoding of motor intentions can be achieved through implantable electrocorticography (ECoG) devices. In this study, the investigators will use an investigational system using ECoG signal recording over the motor cortex to drive muscle specific electrical epidural spinal cord stimulation (EES). The investigators will assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of this system in 3 participants.

Study on Preliminary Safety and Efficacy of the ARC Therapy Using the ARC-IM Lumbar System to Support Mobility in People With Chronic Spinal Cord Injury (BoxSwitch)

The purpose of this pre-market clinical study is to assess the preliminary safety and efficacy of the ARC Therapy using the ARC-IM Lumbar System at supporting mobility in participants who have previously received a spinal array and an implantable pulse generator (IPG) either through the STIMO protocol (NCT02936453) or similar studies conducted abroad. They will be proposed to exchange their currently implanted system with components of the newly developed ARC-IM Lumbar system. The goal is to improve more effective lower-limb motor activities, while also simplifying the personal at-home use of the system. In addition, this study aims to evaluate the potential effect of ARC Therapy on muscle tone, bladder, bowel and sexual functions, and quality of life of the participants. Preliminary safety and efficacy will be assessed in both the short term and throughout the duration of the study (from the surgery to 36 months after the implantation of the ARC-IM Lumbar system).

Study on Preliminary Safety and Efficacy of Epidural Electrical Stimulation to Manage Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction After Spinal Cord Injury

This clinical trial aims to assess the preliminary safety and efficacy of Epidural Electrical Stimulation (EES) therapy in managing lower urinary tract dysfunction in individuals with sub-acute or chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). The study evaluates the therapy's potential to improve urinary function and prevent neurogenic detrusor overactivity, ultimately seeking to enhance quality of life for individuals with SCI.
