Researchers at Houston Methodist Hospital are making significant advancements in spinal neuromodulation to improve recovery and mobility for patients with neuromuscular disorders and injuries, such as stroke and spinal cord injuries. Led by <a href="https://www.houstonmethodist.org/faculty/dimitry-sayenko/?utm_campaign=nat_neuro_evergreen&amp;utm_medium=native&amp;utm_source=docwire&amp;utm_term=consideration&amp;utm_content=full-article_readmore_static_800x450">Dr. Dimitry Sayenko</a>, the Neuromodulation &amp; Recovery Lab focuses on understanding and optimizing stimulation techniques to promote specific functions.
The lab employs various methods, including epidural and transcutaneous spinal stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, electromyography, and neuroimaging. Their research includes trials with robotic exoskeletons combined with spinal neuromodulation to facilitate ambulation and promote spinal cord regeneration.
Dr. Sayenko&#8217;s team recently received NIH funding to further explore invasive and noninvasive spinal neuromodulation for spinal cord injuries. The lab&#8217;s individualized approach tailors stimulation parameters to each participant&#8217;s needs, aiming to enhance sensorimotor functions and overall quality of life.
The researchers are optimistic about future projects, including combining spinal and brain stimulation to create interfaces between the brain and spinal cord. Their work continues to push the boundaries of spinal neuromodulation, with the goal of translating findings into effective treatments for severe neurological disorders and injuries.
