New research shows that stimulation of the lumbosacral vertebrae region significantly elevated low blood pressure, unlike cervical or upper thoracic stimulation. Kessler Foundation researchers ...

The effects of spinal cord injuries are complex and multifaceted. People lose not only the ability to control the movement of their limbs, but also the ability to receive sensory feedback from them.

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

“Our results show that targeted spinal cord Dr. Einat Engel-Haber associate research scientist transcutaneous stimulation has a significant impact on blood pressure regulation in individuals with SCI, ...

Kessler Foundation researchers published new findings on neuromodulation in individuals with high-level spinal cord injury (SCI) using spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS). This promising ...
