Duraplasty for acute spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether adding a special patch (duroplasty) during emergency spinal surgery helps people recover from a recent traumatic spinal cord injury. It's for patients who need decompression surgery within 24 hours of injury.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT05756894Recruiting
Stimulation therapy to improve breathing after spinal cord injury
This trial studies a neurostimulation approach to help breathing problems after a spinal cord injury. You may be able to join if you have a certain type and level of spinal cord injury and breathing weakness, and you can safely attend study visits with caregiver support.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT07225582Recruiting
Best sensory feedback for hand function after spinal injury
This study is for people who have already received the ReHAB system in a previous trial. It aims to find the best ways to use sensory feedback from the device to help with hand and arm function after tetraplegia.
Cleveland, OhioAges 22–65 - NCT07224256Recruiting
Brain implant trial to help with communication after injury or disease
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) that is implanted by a robot. It is designed to help people who have lost the ability to speak clearly or use their hands well, due to conditions like ALS, stroke, or spinal cord injury.
Dallas, TexasAges 22–75 - NCT04921592Recruiting
Arm therapy for people with chronic cervical spinal cord injury
This trial looks at an upper-arm exercise program for people with long-term (at least 6 months) spinal cord injuries in the neck area. It may help improve how you use your arms and manage stiffness, while also checking if the program is safe for participants.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07135583Recruiting
Breathing recovery after spinal cord injury
This study tests non-invasive treatments to help people with chronic spinal cord injury improve their breathing. It may be a good fit if you have had a spinal cord injury for at least a year and have weak breathing muscles.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–70 - NCT07127172Recruiting
Brain implant study for controlling devices with your mind
This study tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices like a computer or tablet just by thinking. It is for people with paralysis or severe weakness in both arms due to conditions like spinal cord injury, ALS, or stroke.
London, Greater LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07099911Recruiting
Electrical stimulation and blood sugar control after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a type of electrical stimulation on leg muscles can help control blood sugar levels in people with spinal cord injury. It compares results to those without injury to see if this treatment might improve health.
Bath, United KingdomAges 18 years+ - NCT04812431RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested stem cell transplant therapy for severe spinal cord injury
This trial tests a cell transplant approach for people with a very severe spinal cord injury. It focuses first on safety and also looks for early signs the therapy may improve function.
Suwon, GyeonggidoAges 18–65 - NCT06939660Recruiting
Brain-spinal cord stimulation for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests if combining brain-computer interface technology with spinal cord stimulation can help improve walking in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It aims to see if this approach works when standard rehab has stopped helping.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 14–65 - NCT06700304Recruiting
Brain implant to help control devices with thoughts
This clinical trial tests a brain-computer interface (a small device implanted in the brain) that may help people with severe paralysis control external devices like a computer or tablet using only their thoughts. The study is for adults with paralysis from a spinal cord injury or ALS, and requires a stable caregiver.
Toronto, OntarioAges 19 years+ - 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 - NCT06992596Recruiting
Brain implant study for controlling devices with thoughts
This trial tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices using your thoughts. It's for people with limited arm function due to spinal cord injury, stroke, ALS, or similar conditions.
Abu DhabiAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05343130Recruiting
Brain-controlled electrical therapy for arm mobility after spinal injury
This trial studies a brain-computer system that helps control electrical stimulation to improve arm movement after a spinal cord injury. It may help with functional use of the upper limbs during rehabilitation if you meet the specific injury, spasticity, and safety requirements.
Tlalpan, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06903416RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nerve stimulation for arm and hand function after spinal cord injury
This study tests a non-invasive, painless nerve stimulation technique to see if it can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. It may help people who have had a neck-level injury more than 9 months ago.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–75 - NCT06867809Recruiting
Spinal and brain stimulation for arm movement after neck injury
This study tests whether using a combination of spinal and brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a cervical spinal cord injury (neck area) at least one year ago. It is for those with some remaining movement but not full strength.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06841198Recruiting
Heart and blood vessel health after spinal cord injury
This study looks at how the heart and blood vessels change in the first year after a spinal cord injury. It also tests if electrical stimulation can help improve low blood pressure, which is common after injury.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT06808035Recruiting
Study on spinal cord injury before or during birth
This study looks at how spinal cord injuries that happened before or during birth affect people. It may help researchers understand more about these injuries.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 3–8 - NCT06775925Recruiting
Robot-assisted vs. standard arm therapy for spinal cord injury
This trial compares robot-assisted arm therapy with standard occupational therapy to see which helps people with a recent cervical spinal cord injury regain hand and arm function better. You may be eligible if you are in early rehab and have limited use of your arms or hands.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT06743607Recruiting
Spinal stimulation to improve arm and hand function at home
This trial tests whether using a special device that sends small electrical currents to the spinal cord can help people recovering from a recent spinal cord injury regain movement in their arms and hands. The treatment happens in your home with the help of a caregiver.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cervical spinal cord injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 102 recruiting cervical spinal cord injury 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 cervical spinal cord injury 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 cervical spinal cord injury 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.
