Scholarly EP040 - Pivotal Transcutaneous Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation with Dr. Jim Guest

Join us this episode for a conversation with Dr. James D. Guest, MD, PhD, of The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, for a conversation about the paper titled "Non-invasive spinal cord electrical stimulation for arm and hand function in chronic tetraplegia: a safety and efficacy trial" published in the journal Nature Medicine. This paper is the culmination of commercialization efforts to bring to market a transcutaneous ("noninvasive") electrical spinal cord simulator for the purpose of recover of upper extremity motor strength. We trust you will enjoy our conversation with Dr. Guest, who was a site-Principal Investigator (PI) for the Up-LIFT trial sponsored by Onward Medical Inc., in the timely wake of the exciting FDA approval of the now-titled ARC-EX® device that was studied in this pivotal clinical trial.

Om Podcasten

The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) brings you SCI Science Perspectives. The podcast is built around two-part dialogues with spinal cord injury (SCI) professionals regarding their emerging scientific work spanning the full spectrum of SCI research, from discovery to clinical application. The SCI Science Perspectives podcast disseminates the latest-and-greatest scientific work in the SCI field via a conversation with researchers that approaches their work from two perspectives: the “scholarly” perspective and the “community” perspective. The process begins with ASIA’s Committees informing the podcast about new and influential scientific papers relevant to the committee’s interests. Then the podcast host(s) then interview the author(s) of the papers, approaching their project from each perspective. Finally, the conversation from each perspective is published as its own episode type: "Scholarly" and "Community" episodes. Keep an eye out too for "Admin" episodes too, communicating administrative information relevant to ASIA members and stakeholders.
