spinal cord injury, deep brain stimulation

Breakthrough deep brain stimulation therapy restores walking after spinal cord injury
A spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts communication between the brain and spinal cord, leading to partial or complete paralysis. But recent breakthroughs suggest an unexpected brain region could play a critical role in restoring mobility.
Deep brain stimulation helps two patients walk after spinal injury
As the team explained, deep brain stimulation involves the implantation of electrodes into specific brain areas to help direct neural activity. It's long been used to treat illnesses such as Parkinson's disease and tremor.
Brain Stimulation Aids Walking Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury
Researchers have identified the lateral hypothalamus (LH) as a key brain region for walking recovery in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients, demonstrating that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can significantly enhance mobility and autonomy.
Deep brain stimulation can help with spinal cord injuries — and more
Medical Watch Digest for Dec 2 Deep brain stimulation can help with spinal cord injuries A novel way to reverse paralysis. Researchers at the Swiss Federal Technology Institute call it a major milestone in the treatment of spinal cord injuries.
World-first: Deep brain stimulation enables paralyzed patient to walk again
In this clinical trial, the participants received deep brain stimulation (DBS) in a region of the brain called the lateral hypothalamus (LH).
Deep Brain Stimulation Restores Walking in Two Paralyzed Patients
Deep brain stimulation to the lateral hypothalamus has improved lower limb movements in two people with partial spinal cord injury.
Health Rounds: Brain stimulation helps restore walking after paralysis in pilot study
Applying deep brain stimulation to a different region in the brain than has been used for other conditions improved the recovery of lower limb movements in two patients with severe spinal cord injuries,
Study Says Deep Brain Stimulation Can Help People Walk After Spinal Injury
The team from EPFL and Lausanne University Hospital revealed that the stimulation in the lateral hypothalamus part of the brain has helped the participant with spinal injury
Deep Brain Stimulation Helps Two Patients Walk After Spinal Cord Injury
In 2006, Wolfgang Jäger was in his 30s when a skiing accident left the young Austrian wheelchair-bound from a spinal cord injury. Fast-forward to today, where an innovative deep-brain stimulation technique is helping the 54-year-old Jäger walk and move again.
Hypothalamic deep brain stimulation restores walking after spinal cord injury
Scientists have identified neurons in the lateral hypothalamus that can be targeted through deep brain stimulation to improve walking after spinal cord injury (SCI). This innovative approach shows promise in both animal models and initial human trials,
Hope for spinal cord injury patients
A new study shows that deep brain stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus can help people with spinal cord injuries.
