Synergistic implications of combinatorial rehabilitation approaches using spinal stimulation on therapeutic outcomes in spinal cord injury.
Review in Clinical neurophysiology : official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe objective of this narrative review was to locate and assess recent articles employing a combinatorial approach of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation or epidural spinal cord stimulation with additional modalities. We sought to provide relevant knowledge of recent literature and advance understanding on outcomes reported, to better equip those working in neurorehabilitation and neuromodulation.
methodsArticles were selected and analyzed based on study approach, stimulation parameters, outcome measures, and presence of neurophysiological data to support findings.
resultsThis narrative review analyzed 44 recent articles employing a combinatorial approach of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation or epidural spinal cord stimulation with additional modalities. Our findings showed that limited research exists regarding such combinatorial approaches, particularly when considering modalities beyond activity-based training. There is also limited consistency in neurophysiological and quality of life outcomes.
conclusionArticles involving transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation or epidural spinal cord stimulation with other modalities are limited in the current body of literature. Authors noted variety in approach, sample size, and use of participant perspective. Opportunities are present to add high quality research to this body of literature. SIGNIFICANCE: Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation and epidural spinal cord stimulation are emerging in research as viable avenues for targeting improvement of function after traumatic spinal cord injury, particularly when combined with activity-based training. This body of literature demonstrates viable areas for growth from both neurophysiological and functional perspectives. Further, exploration of novel combinatorial approaches holds potential to offer enhanced contributions to clinical and neurophysiological rehabilitation and research.
