In 2006, Wolfgang Jäger was in his 30s when a skiing accident left the young Austrian wheelchair-bound from a spinal cord injury. Fast-forward to today, where an innovative deep-brain stimulation technique is helping the 54-year-old Jäger walk and move again.

Medical Watch Digest for Dec 2 Deep brain stimulation can help with spinal cord injuries A novel way to reverse paralysis. Researchers at the Swiss Federal Technology Institute call it a major milestone in the treatment of spinal cord injuries.

Deep brain stimulation to the lateral hypothalamus has improved lower limb movements in two people with partial spinal cord injury.

Researchers have identified the lateral hypothalamus (LH) as a key brain region for walking recovery in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients, demonstrating that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can significantly enhance mobility and autonomy.

Scientists have discovered a brain stimulation technique that could help spinal cord injury patients walk more easily

Two people who were paralysed have been able to walk again after being implanted with electrodes in their brains.

Two people who sustained spinal cord injuries and became unable to move or walk have now been able to do that with the help of a breakthrough deep-brain stimulation technique, according to a new study.
