简要总结
The study's main goal is to determine the efficacy of a therapy with brain-computer interface controlled functional electrical stimulation for neurorehabilitation of spinal cord injury patients' upper limbs. For this purpose, a randomized controlled trial will be performed to compare the clinical and physiological effects of the brain-computer interface therapy with those of a sham intervention comprised by the application of functional electrical stimulation independently of brain-computer interface control.

结局指标
主要结局
Capabilities of Upper Extremities Questionnaire (CUE-Q)
时间窗: At enrollment and after 7 weeks of the intervention onset
Change of the functional limitation in tetraplegia. Scale ranges from 32 to 224 points if both upper limbs are assessed. A higher score means less functional limitation outcome.
Action Research Arm Test (ARAT)
时间窗: At enrollment and after 7 weeks of the intervention onset
Change of upper limbs function. Scale ranges from 0 to 57 points for each upper limb. A higher score means a better upper limb function.
Upper Extremity Motor Score (UEMS)
时间窗: At enrollment and after 7 weeks of the intervention onset
Change of upper limbs function. Scale ranges from 0 to 50 points if both upper limbs are assessed. A higher score means a better upper limb function.
次要结局
- Spinal Cord Independence Measure III (SCIM-III)(At enrollment and after 7 weeks of the intervention onset)
- Life Satisfaction Questionnaire 9 (LISAT-9)(At enrollment and after 7 weeks of the intervention onset)
