Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT06976229RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell therapy for recent spinal cord injury
This phase 1 trial tests a new treatment made from stem cells (XS228) for people who had a spinal cord injury 14 to 60 days ago. Doctors want to see if it's safe and if it might help with recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06965127Recruiting
Walking implant for incomplete spinal cord injury
This trial tests an implant to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury walk better. It is for those who can walk slowly or with difficulty and have some muscle function in their trunk or legs.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT06793683Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Early Botox for bladder control after spinal cord injury
This trial tests if giving Botox injections early (within 20 weeks of injury) into the bladder muscle can help with bladder function and prevent problems. It may help people with recent, severe spinal cord injuries above the T6 level.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT06677229RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety and effectiveness of TZ-161 for spinal cord injury
This trial tests a new medicine called TZ-161 in people who have recently had a spinal cord injury in the chest area. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help improve movement.
CórdobaAges 18–65 - 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 - 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 - NCT05731986Recruiting
Skin nerve stimulation to raise blood pressure after spinal injury
This study tests whether a device that delivers mild electrical stimulation through the skin can improve low blood pressure after an acute spinal cord injury. It may help reduce episodes of dizziness or faint-feeling caused by blood pressure dropping when you sit up.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT06521723Recruiting
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 - NCT06520020Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spine can be safely used for people with spinal cord injury. If you have had a surgery to stabilize your spine, this stimulation could help with recovery.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–80 - NCT06438471RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for nerve pain after spinal cord injury

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.
