This trial is enrolling 15 participants with chronic cervical spinal cord injury to test the effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on brain-to-muscle connections. TMS is s non-invasive technique which uses a magnetic field to stimulate the brain. A coil (held over the head) delivers the magnetic stimulation that activates the central nervous system. If included, participants will complete up to 42 sessions over 14 weeks, followed by 6 additional follow-up visits over 3 months, with each visit lasting about 1.5 hours. Final testing will be performed after 4 months.
