What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a treatment called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS), when combined with balance training, can help improve balance in adults who have had surgery for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). DCM is a condition that affects the spinal cord in the neck and often causes problems with walking and balance, even after surgery. This study will also look at how tSCS affects the nervous system and whether it is safe and practical to use in this group of patients. The results will help researchers plan a larger study in the future. Main Questions: * Does tSCS combined with balance training improve balance more than balance training alone? * Does stimulation at both the neck and mid-back work better than stimulation at the mid-back only? * What changes in nerve and muscle activity occur with tSCS? What will happen in this study: *
