WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

Daily electrical stimulation of certain nerves in the spinal cord appeared to help three people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), an inherited disorder that causes muscles to waste away.

Future research aims to combine DBS with spinal implants that have already shown promise in restoring movement after SCI. “Integrating our brain and spinal stimulation approaches could offer a ...
