Spinal Stimulation

Body

In this project, we will test if a type of gentle electrical stimulation to the spine, called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS), can help improve movement, walking, balance, and muscle control in children with cerebral palsy (CP). We will also study whether giving a subset of children a single dose of a medicine called 5-azacytidine (AZA), an FDA approved drug shown to aid muscle growth and regeneration, can improve these results further.
