Wireless Implantable Mandarin Chinese Speech Neuroprosthesis Evaluation

Conditions: Speech Disorder

Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 80 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 4
Sponsor: Shanghai StairMed Technology Co., Ltd.

Location: Huashan Hospital, Fudan University Shanghai Shanghai Municipality

Summary

This prospective, single-arm clinical trial is designed to preliminarily evaluate the safety and efficacy of an implantable wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) system (manufactured by Shanghai StairMed Technology Co., Ltd.) in enabling subjects with speech disorders to achieve brain-controlled interaction and communication. Eligible subjects will undergo surgical implantation of the device and receive brain-control training. All participants will be followed for an expected period of 12 months. During the follow-up, adverse events, serious adverse events, and device deficiencies will be recorded, and efficacy data on brain-controlled interaction and communication will be collected. The goal is to conduct an initial assessment of the safety and effectiveness of the investigational device in achieving brain-controlled effects in the target population.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 to 80 years (inclusive), any gender. * Clinically diagnosed with speech disorders, including locked-in syndrome, severe dysarthria, aphasia with preserved auditory comprehension, or late-stage ALS-related language dysfunction, secondary to stroke, traumatic brain injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or other motor neuron diseases. * The subject, or the subject with the assistance of their legal representative, is willing to follow the investigator's instructions, adhere to all protocol-specified procedures, and complete all required follow-up. * The subject and their legal representative fully understand the purpose and significance of the trial; the subject voluntarily agrees to participate and signs the informed consent form Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects with any previously implanted metallic objects or devices (e.g., pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators, cochlear implants), except for dental metal implants or implants assessed to have no impact on the trial. * Subjects who have been on long-term anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy prior to screening, with antiplatelet drugs discontinued for less than 2 weeks before surgery; or subjects with hematological or autoimmune disorders (e.g., aplastic anemia, systemic lupus erythematosus); or subjects with clinically significant coagulation test abnormalities during the screening period. * Subjects assessed by an anesthesiologist to be unable to tolerate anesthesia and surgery. * Subjects assessed by the investigator to have nervous system diseases (e.g., cerebrovascular lesions, intracranial infections, neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy) or a history of craniocerebral trauma, resulting in severe brain function impairment or marked EEG abnormalities. * Subjects with physiological or pathological conditions that may lead to poor healing of scalp wounds. * Subjects in the acute infection phase or suffering from other severe infections. * Subjects with cognitive impairment or psychotic symptoms. * Subjects with severe dysfunction of vital organs (heart, lung, liver, kidney, etc.), malignant tumors or autoimmune diseases, who are deemed ineligible for this clinical trial by investigators. * Subjects judged by investigators to have an expected survival time of less than 1 year. * Subjects with drug abuse or alcohol dependence. * Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or subjects planning to become pregnant during the trial period. * Subjects currently participating in clinical trials of drugs or other medical devices. * Subjects unable to understand or read Chinese. * Other circumstances under which investigators consider the subject unsuitable to participate in this clinical trial
