Episode Overview
- Spinal cord stimulation as a revolutionary treatment for stroke victims
- Explanation of how the technology bridges the neural gap for restored movement
- Insights on early trial results and potential long-term benefits
- Discussion on future applications in spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, and beyond
- Resources to learn more and participate in clinical trials
So our idea was to stimulate the spinal cord to provide some sort of amplification of these signals, so that now the neurons below the lesion could hear these signals coming from the brain, and now they would be able to interpret them and do what the brain wanted.
Imagine losing the use of an arm after a stroke and then regaining that mobility through a groundbreaking treatment. This episode of 'American Medicine Today' brings you face-to-face with Dr. Marco Capogrosso, an Assistant Professor and Director of the Spinal Cord Stimulation Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Capogrosso shares his pioneering work on spinal cord stimulation, a treatment that's giving hope to stroke victims by restoring their arm function.
Dive into the science behind this innovative approach, hear about the early successes from clinical trials, and ponder the future possibilities it holds for stroke recovery. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a stroke survivor, or someone supporting a loved one through recovery, this episode offers a blend of technical insights and real-world impact stories that make complex medical advancements accessible and inspiring.
