Eligibility criteria require patients to have had limited mobility for at least one year and a life expectancy of at least 12 months. They must also have very limited or no movement in their hands, wrists, and arms due to spinal cord injuries or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The “first-in-human early feasibility study" began in January, according to registry details posted on Monday.
Although early feasibility studies are not required to post trial details on the US National Institutes of Health's ClinicalTrials.gov website, major medical journals often require such registration.
In January, Neuralink implanted the device in Noland Arbaugh, a patient paralysed from the shoulders down due to a 2016 diving accident. According to company blog posts and videos, the device has enabled Arbaugh to play video games, browse the internet, and move a computer cursor on his laptop using only his thoughts.
