ABSTRACT

STUDY PURPOSE: This was a pilot study to establish the safety and feasibility of transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation (scTS) to augment upright sitting posture and trunk control in children with spinal cord injury.

DATA COLLECTED: The primary safety-related outcome measures were assessed over the 3 days for each participant and included: hemodynamic stability assessed using brachial arm blood pressure (mmHg) and heart rate (beats per minute) at baseline (no stimulation), during stimulation, at the end of experiments and if a child presents with symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia (e.g. facial flushing, reporting of headache, etc); incidence of autonomic dysreflexia (increase in blood pressure over 20 mmHg from a previous blood pressure measurement); incidence of pain in response to stimulation (assessed using FACES Pain Scale-Revised for children under 8 and Visual Analogue Scale for children 8 and older); incidence of skin redness under the stimulating electrodes. Trunk kinematics and center of pressure displacement data are published as a separate dataset on ODC-SCI titled: "Trunk kinematic and center of pressure displacement time series data during transcutaneous lumbosacral spinal cord stimulation and passive pelvic tilt in human pediatric participants with trunk control impairments due to cervical or thoracic spinal cord injury (pilot clinical trial NCT03975634)"
