NCT02333695

Brief Summary

A medical device for magnetic therapy for spinal cord injuries (SCI) will be disclosed. The apparatus comprises a combination of several magnets enclosed in a supportive cover. The magnets are placed in a proper position and their polarity can be changed at any time without any difficulty.

Study Arms (1)

Spinal Magnetic Stimulation

EXPERIMENTAL

Spinal Magnetic Stimulation (SMS) is a relatively new way to use magnetism to affect the spinal cord. It is non-invasive, meaning that the procedure does not require any type of surgery; rather, it is conducted by transmitting magnetic pulses through the Spinal Cord by pressing a machine against the back.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • informed consent;
  • persons with confirmed and verified lesion of the central nervous system

You may not qualify if:

  • Identification of the study a total intolerance to a pulsed magnetic field;
  • Installation of the pacemaker, intracardiac catheters or operations on the brain, requiring the abandonment of metal objects in the cranial cavity;
  • Pregnancy;
  • Enhancement of the patient, which requires the maintenance of vital functions by hardware (mechanical ventilation, continuous application infusomats);
  • The emergence of an epileptic seizure ;
  • Failure of the patient to continue participation in the study;
