An experimental treatment that stimulates the spinal cord may help people with a paralyzing genetic disorder called spinal muscular atrophy.

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.

New research suggests that electrical spinal cord stimulation could improve muscle function for these patients, even restoring the capability to walk. In studies at the University of Pittsburgh ...
