Direct Stimulation Of Spinal Nerve Roots To Determine Sensory And Motor Innervation Patterns

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Spine Surgery, Neuromuscular Mapping, Neurodiagnostics

In brief

The purpose of this study is to collect data while monitoring muscles and nerves during spine surgery. The data being collected and analyzed will be used to learn more about how the body's nerves and muscles are distributed and develop a map of human muscle innervation patterns.
