This trial is enrolling individuals with chronic complete cervical spinal cord injuries to test the effect of skin surface (transcutaneous) spinal cord stimulation on upper extremity function. If included, all participants will undergo conventional therapy only, followed by transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation in combination with conventional therapy. Investigators want to quantify whether participants would use the therapy on an ongoing basis, and determine treatment changes to upper extremity strength, sensation, function, spasticity, and overall health. The study period lasts 26 weeks.
