Low oxygen therapy to improve walking after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether breathing low-oxygen air (a treatment called AIH) combined with spinal stimulation can help people with chronic spinal cord injury walk better. It may improve your walking speed and endurance.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT06540859Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for recovery after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve bladder, bowel, and other automatic body functions during inpatient rehab after a recent spinal cord injury. It's for people who have a non-worsening injury at or above the T6 level and are within 4 months of their injury.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–65 - NCT06559618RecruitingPhase 1
Phage therapy for bladder bacteria in spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a special virus (bacteriophage) that attacks E. coli bacteria can help control bacteria in the bladder without causing an infection. It's for people with spinal cord injury who use a catheter and have E. coli in their urine but no active infection.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06587841Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for early spinal cord injury
This study tests a noninvasive spinal cord stimulation device for people with recent or long-term spinal cord injury. It aims to improve bladder function and is conducted in British Columbia, Canada, and Ukraine.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19–65 - NCT07521930Recruiting
Brain implant to restore communication and movement control
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain device designed to help people with severe paralysis or movement disorders regain the ability to communicate and control their limbs. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into commands that could help you interact with computers or assistive technology.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06672458Recruiting
Electrical stimulation to help arm and hand function after spinal cord injury
This trial uses a non-invasive device called MyndMove to apply small electrical pulses to the arm muscles, helping to improve movement after a spinal cord or nerve injury. It may be an option for people who still have some connection between their brain and arm muscles.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT06706284RecruitingPhase 4
GLP-1 agonist for diabetes after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a GLP-1 agonist (a type of diabetes medicine that also helps with weight loss) is safe and effective for people with spinal cord injury and type 2 diabetes who are not on other glucose-lowering drugs.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT06176833Recruiting
Walking therapy early after spinal cord injury
This study tests a special walking program for people who have recently had a spinal cord injury. The goal is to help you recover as much walking ability as possible.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 16–75 - NCT07683780Enrolling by invitation
Spinal stimulation and muscle training for cough after spinal cord injury
This study tests a combination of spinal cord stimulation and electrical muscle stimulation to help improve cough strength in people with a recent spinal cord injury. It may help you clear secretions more effectively.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–65 - NCT06773286Recruiting
Stimulation and therapy for hand function after spinal cord injury
This trial is testing a safe method of electrical stimulation through the skin (called transcutaneous stimulation) combined with physical therapy to help people who recently had a cervical spinal cord injury improve hand and arm function. It is designed for people who are still in the hospital rehab setting.

Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19–70 - NCT06841770RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a delivery device for spinal cord injury treatment
This trial tests a device that delivers a special cell therapy (LCTOPC1) into the spinal cord. It is for people with a recent or chronic spinal cord injury that is severe (no feeling or movement below the injury) or leaves some sensation but no movement.
Downey, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06965127Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute spinal cord injury (sci)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 70 recruiting acute spinal cord injury (sci) studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a acute spinal cord injury (sci) trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute spinal cord injury (sci) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
