Three patients with spinal muscular atrophy had improved muscle strength and could walk farther after a month of daily spinal ...

Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

The first-in-human trial saw all three patients able to increase their walking distance within six minutes to 20 meters.

Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord strengthened the muscles of three people with spinal muscular atrophy, a rare motor neuron disease.

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal ...

Three people with a muscle-destroying disease destined to worsen got a little stronger – able to stand and walk more easily – when an implanted device zapped their spinal cord.

A new spinal cord implant may help people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) regain some muscle function, giving them ...

Describe how imaging and the use of new therapies for geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration can fit into the treatment paradigm. Summarize innovations in imaging that ...

but post-treatment orthostatic hypotension did not change significantly. Imaging studies have shown brain and cerebellar atrophy. The mechanisms leading to IVIG-induced BP elevation are unclear.

Muscle atrophy makes treatment and recovery more challenging. A healthy median nerve also sends sensory information from the hand to the brain. The damaged nerve may not transmit the information the ...

less muscle atrophy and less weakness over time. This study stems from preclinical work carried out by Professor Richard Robitaille at l’Université de Montréal (UdeM), during which the treatment ...
