Treatment
EXPERIMENTALThe treatment or intervention is the use of NI-ES using a signal generator, Alpha-Stim M, with an Ocular Interface connected to one channel and a Spinal Interface to the other channel. The treatment is done at home for 40 minutes at a time, twice a day. The upper lids of the closed eyes are treated for 10 minutes and the lower lids of the closed eyes are treated for 10 minutes, alternated throughout the treatment time. The Spinal Interface is placed above the SCI for 40 minutes. The entire procedure is repeated for another 40 minutes for a second time. The participant will treat himself at home.
