Recruiting studies
- NCT07002437Recruiting
Low oxygen for early spinal cord recovery
This study tests whether mild, short-term low oxygen levels (like at high altitude) can help the spinal cord recover earlier after an injury. It is for people who had a spinal cord injury in the last 2 weeks to 6 months.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT07007884Recruiting
Ear stimulation to improve heart function after spinal cord injury
This trial uses mild electrical stimulation through the ear to see if it can improve how the heart works in people who have had a spinal cord injury. It is designed for individuals with neck-level injuries who also experience episodes of sudden high blood pressure (autonomic dysreflexia).
AnkaraAges 18–60 - NCT07036107Recruiting
Exoskeleton rehab for spinal cord injury in Spain
This trial tests whether a wearable exoskeleton can help people with recent spinal cord injury improve their walking ability and quality of life. It focuses on patients treated in the Spanish healthcare system.
Toledo, Castille-La ManchaAges 18–70 - NCT07147296Recruiting
Implant to manage blood pressure swings after spinal cord injury
This trial tests an implanted device that may help control drops in blood pressure caused by spinal cord injury. If you often feel dizzy or lightheaded due to low blood pressure, this study could explore whether the device improves stability.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18–75 - NCT07165353Recruiting
Virtual walking to reduce nerve pain after spinal cord injury
This study tests if using a virtual reality walking program can help reduce chronic nerve pain in people with spinal cord injuries. If you have nerve pain in your trunk or legs, you might benefit from this non-drug approach.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18–75 - NCT07210437Recruiting
Autonomic changes and health problems after spinal cord injury
This study looks at how the autonomic nervous system (which controls things like heart rate and blood pressure) changes after a spinal cord injury. It aims to predict later health problems.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–75 - NCT07263581Recruiting
Walking training with electrical stimulation and augmented reality for spinal cord injury
This study tests a new walking therapy that combines electrical muscle stimulation and augmented reality (a computer-generated view) to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury walk better. It may improve how you walk and your overall movement.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–45 - NCT07289191Recruiting
Spinal current stimulation for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation on the back can help improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It uses a device that sends small currents through the skin to the spinal cord.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18–75 - NCT07343583Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for bladder control after spinal cord injury
This study tests if stimulating nerves in the lower back or ankle can help improve bladder function in people who have a recent spinal cord injury above the T11 vertebra (mid-back). It aims to find a new way to manage bladder problems without medication.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–65 - NCT07429305Recruiting
Nerve stimulation and standing for spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether combining a nerve stimulation therapy with standing exercises can improve bladder and bowel function after a spinal cord injury. It may help people who have nerve-related bladder problems.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT07432321Recruiting
Spinal cord injury trial testing spinal stimulation and arm training
This trial tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with arm and hand exercises can improve strength and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more control in your daily activities.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–80 - NCT07504055Recruiting
Non-invasive spinal cord stimulation for blood pressure after injury
This study tests whether a non-invasive spinal cord stimulation device can help regulate blood pressure in people with spinal cord injury who have low blood pressure symptoms. It may help you feel less dizzy or faint when you sit or stand up.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT07578532Recruiting
Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder After Spinal Cord Injury
This trial tests two non-surgical treatments—magnetic and electrical nerve stimulation applied to the skin over the sacrum (base of spine)—to help control bladder overactivity in people with spinal cord injury. The goal is to reduce involuntary bladder contractions and improve bladder control.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07583498Recruiting
Treating Muscle Stiffness After Spinal Cord Injury With Oxygen Therapy
This study tests whether brief periods of low oxygen (called acute intermittent hypoxia) can reduce muscle stiffness and tightness that develops after a spinal cord injury. Researchers believe this approach may help improve arm and hand function.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06351111Enrolling by invitation
Vagus nerve stimulation for spinal cord injury follow-on study
This study tests whether vagus nerve stimulation can help people with spinal cord injury improve arm, leg, bladder, or sensory function. You must have completed an earlier phase of this research to join.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–64 - NCT05989906Enrolling by invitation
Sprint interval training during spinal cord injury rehab
This study tests whether a program of short, intense arm exercise (sprint interval training) is safe and doable for people with spinal cord injury who are in the hospital for rehab. If you are eligible, you would do the exercise sessions during your stay.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–65 - NCT05233111Enrolling by invitation
Exposure therapy to reduce PTSD after spinal cord injury
This trial compares a specific type of talk therapy (brief prolonged exposure) versus standard care to reduce post-traumatic stress symptoms after a spinal cord injury. If you qualify, you may get extra support targeted at PTSD symptoms during inpatient rehab.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04565366Enrolling by invitation
Study of research care for new spinal cord injuries
This study looks at people after a recent, serious injury—especially a new spinal cord injury—to see how research and clinical knowledge can be improved. Depending on your group (spinal cord injury, other trauma, or healthy), you may be invited to participate if you meet age and injury timing needs.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05626816Recruiting
Genital nerve stimulation to improve bowel control after spinal injury
This trial studies whether stimulating nerves near the genitals (a gentle electrical stimulation approach) can improve bowel function in people with spinal cord injury. It may help bowel control when bowel dysfunction is caused by nerve injury.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05230511RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder wash with LGG probiotic vs saline for nerve bladder
This study tests whether putting a probiotic called LGG into the bladder works better than a saline bladder rinse to help people with a nerve-related bladder problem. It may improve bladder symptoms or reduce bladder infections, compared with standard saline rinses.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07488793Recruiting
Remote conditioning for spinal cord injury
This study tests a non-invasive method called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief cycles of inflation and deflation of a blood pressure cuff on the arm. It may help improve health outcomes for people with spinal cord injury who are not currently able to exercise.

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.
