Gene therapy for chronic spinal cord injury (AIS-A/B)
This trial tests a new gene therapy called STUP-001 that aims to repair spinal cord damage directly. It is for people who have had a traumatic spinal cord injury with complete or near-complete paralysis (AIS-A or B) for at least 6 months.
SeoulAges 19–60 - 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 - NCT07052344Recruiting
Brain-gut connection study in spinal cord injury
This study looks at how the brain and gut communicate in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and healthy controls. It uses non-invasive methods to understand these signals, which might help improve bowel and overall health.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT07062575Recruiting
Exoskeleton training at home for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests a wearable robot (exoskeleton) that helps people with spinal cord injuries walk at home. If you have a chronic injury and a helper, you may be able to join.
Hengstdal, UbbergenAges 18 years+ - NCT07103993Recruiting
Eating and body heat in high spinal cord injury
This study looks at how eating affects your body's heat production and calorie burning in people with high spinal cord injuries. It may help understand how to better manage weight and energy after injury.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT07139496Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for injury recovery
This trial tests if placing electrodes near the injury site and in the lower back can help people with spinal cord injury recover movement or function. You must have had the injury for more than 2 years.
Hong KongAges 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 - NCT07210411Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation after spinal cord injury
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects the body over time after a spinal cord injury. It may help understand if this treatment can improve nerve function and overall health.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–50 - NCT07213986Recruiting
Vibrant capsule for bowel problems after spinal cord injury
This trial tests a vibrating capsule to help people with spinal cord injury have more regular bowel movements. It might be an option if you have had a spinal cord injury for at least one year and follow a steady bowel program.
Houston, TexasAges 21 years+ - 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 - NCT07234903Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation therapy for walking recovery
This trial tests if an electrical stimulation device placed in the spine can help people with spinal cord injury improve their ability to walk. It is for adults who had a traumatic injury either very recently (within 6 weeks) or more than a year ago.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic spinal cord injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 139 recruiting chronic 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 chronic 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 chronic 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.
