Brief Summary

Non-invasive spinal cord stimulation “spinal stim” is a new treatment. Most of the research so far has been with people who have a spinal cord injury. There are early signs it may also help people with other neurological conditions, with movement and with other body functions.

Researchers at The University of Melbourne are seeking people living with a neurological condition to share their views and experiences regarding “spinal stim”.

Anonymous survey – 10-15 minutes.

Your feedback will help researchers better understand:

  • Awareness and understanding of spinal cord stimulation
  • Perceived benefits and concerns
  • Research priorities and future directions
  • Factors influencing willingness to participate in clinical studies

 

You do not need to know anything about spinal stim to take part. We want to hear from people who have never heard of it as well as people who know a lot about it.
