Spinal Stimulation Implants Restore Muscle Function

A spinal stimulation implant has the potential to restore muscle function. A pilot study revealed that three individuals with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) experienced a temporary restoration in their muscle strength and movement after receiving the device.

The first evidence of spine-stimulating implants' potential in treating neurodegenerative diseases like SMA is promising for those who suffer from this condition without hope of a cure. Gene therapy has been used to treat severe cases but can only help slow down the disease's progression. Medications have also been utilized for this purpose.

The device acts by zapping circuits of dormant nerves located in the spinal cord to stimulate muscle activation. While temporary results were observed, further research is needed to determine whether these outcomes will be long-term or not.

SMA patients are eager to see more progress with this technology because they have no other option available currently. The hope is that one day there could potentially be a permanent solution for those suffering from SMA and similar conditions through spinal stimulation implants like what has been seen in the pilot study.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
