Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an ...

A new electrical stimulation therapy for spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) has shown promise in reactivating motor neurons and ...

“To counteract neurodegeneration, we need two things – stop neuron death and ... on each side of the spinal cord, directing the stimulation exclusively to sensory nerve roots.

In a small human trial in SMA patients neurostimulation sessions improved motoneuron function, reduced fatigue, and improved leg muscle strength and walking.

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease.

Three patients with spinal muscular atrophy had improved muscle strength and could walk farther after a month of daily spinal ...

There are many different types of neurons, and they all have special functions in the brain, spinal cord, and muscles that control our body. The three neuron types (sensory, motor, interneurons ...
