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.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - 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.

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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT07299734RecruitingEarly Phase 1

Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT07334977RecruitingPhase 2
Brain and spinal cord stimulation after stroke or injury
This trial tests whether stimulating the brain and spinal cord together can help people recovering from stroke or spinal cord injury. It also includes a healthy control group for comparison.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - 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.

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.
