The impact of non-invasive brain-computer interface technology on the therapeutic effect of patients with spinal cord injury: a summary of evidence based on meta-analysis
As far as the existing literature is concerned, non-invasive brain-computer interface technology shows the potential to improve motor and sensory functioning as well as the ability to perform activities of daily living in patients with spinal cord injury. However, the conclusions are preliminary and hypothetical, and as the current evidence for non-invasive BCI interventions for people with spinal cord injury remains limited, this paper does not recommend the application of the conclusions to clinical practice until future large-sample RCTs.
