Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation for Upper Extremity Function
This study explores a non-invasive treatment called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tcSCS) for people with spinal cord injuries or stroke. It aims to improve arm and hand movement by gently stimulating the spinal cord through the skin. We want to understand the best ways to use this treatment and how it helps recovery.

Can Brief Exposure to Hyperoxia Improve Function After Chronic Spinal Cord Injury?
This study looks at whether breathing extra oxygen for a very short time can help people with long-term spinal cord injuries. Researchers want to see if it improves how well they can feel and move, trying to find new ways to help recovery.

Electrical Stimulation for Spasticity in Spinal Cord Injury
This study looks at how electrical stimulation (TENS) applied to the lower back can help reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) in people with spinal cord injuries. We want to see if it works immediately and long-term, and how it compares to not using TENS at first.
