Recruiting studies
- NCT07227727Recruiting
Blood vessel health after spinal cord injury
This study looks at how spinal cord injury affects the health of your blood vessels. It compares people with paraplegia to those without an injury to understand the differences.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07357428Recruiting
Brain-computer implant study for severe paralysis or speech loss
This study tests a brain-computer implant that might help people with severe paralysis or speech loss control a computer with their thoughts. It is for people who have trouble moving and speaking due to a progressive disease or injury.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 22–75 - NCT07390591Recruiting
Patient views on bladder treatments for urinary symptoms
This study asks patients and caregivers about their experiences with bladder washes (instillations) using lactobacillus or gentamicin to manage urinary symptoms. Your feedback could help improve care for others like you.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT00912041Recruiting
Test of a brain-to-computer device for quadriplegia
This study tests whether a tiny brain computer interface can help people with quadriplegia (loss of movement in all four limbs) communicate or control technology. It’s mainly a feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the device can work safely and reliably in real life.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT01474148Recruiting
Neuroprosthesis to improve sitting posture and balance
This trial tests a special stimulation device (a “neuroprosthesis”) to help people with spinal cord injury improve how they sit upright and maintain balance. If you meet safety and readiness requirements, it may help your trunk and pelvic muscles work more effectively during posture and balance tasks.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT07433959Recruiting
Electrical stimulation to improve hand grip after spinal cord injury
This study tests a new way to use mild electrical pulses on your neck to help improve your ability to grip and grasp things. It may help if you have had a cervical spinal cord injury for at least a year and still have some finger movement.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT07083713Enrolling by invitation
Group coaching for life goals with chronic conditions
This study tests if group coaching helps people with certain chronic conditions set and achieve life goals. You would join phone or video sessions with a coach and others like you.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07507422Recruiting
Post-market study of Inceptiv spinal cord stimulation
This study follows people receiving Inceptiv, a spinal cord stimulator from Medtronic, to see how well it works over time. It is for adults with chronic back or limb pain who have not tried spinal cord stimulation before.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07673354Enrolling by invitation
Spinal cord stimulation at home for hand and arm function in MS
This trial tests if gentle electrical stimulation can help improve hand and arm function in people with multiple sclerosis. You will use a small device at home with support from a caregiver.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–70 - NCT06552611RecruitingPhase 1
Spinal cord stimulation for hand function in MS
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spinal cord can help improve hand and arm function in people with MS. If you have MS and difficulty using your hands, you may be able to join.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–70 - NCT05951777RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells from your own fat for chronic brain injury
This trial tests whether stem cells taken from your own fat and given through an IV can help people with long-term brain damage from a head injury. It is for adults who have not gotten better with standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT05167786Recruiting
Electrical spinal cord stimulation for walking after stroke
This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06979466Recruiting
Electrical device for chronic stroke recovery
This trial tests a device that uses electrical stimulation to help people who had a stroke several months to years ago improve arm and hand movement. You would use the device while sitting and do physical exercises with help from a caregiver.
White Plains, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT06644807Recruiting
Neuromodulation for phantom limb pain after amputation
This trial tests a new approach to suppress phantom limb pain using neuromodulation methods. It may help people who have had a limb amputated and continue to experience persistent pain.
Moscow, MoscowAges 18–65 - NCT06702904Recruiting
Neuroprosthesis for phantom limb pain relief
This study tests a new type of artificial limb (neuroprosthesis) that sends signals back to your brain to help reduce phantom limb pain and improve your daily life. You may be able to join if you have had an arm or leg amputation at least 6 months ago and have persistent pain.
MoscowAges 18–65 - NCT05989230Recruiting
Emotional awareness therapy for pain after orthopedic injury
This trial tests a therapy that helps people understand and express their emotions to manage long-term pain after a serious bone injury. It may help if you have had pain most days for at least three months following surgery for an orthopedic injury.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06454669RecruitingPhase 2
Dronabinol added to opioids for chronic low back pain
This trial tests whether adding dronabinol (a prescription medication derived from cannabis) to your current opioid pain treatment can help reduce chronic low back pain more effectively. It is for people who have had persistent low back pain for at least 3 months and are already on a stable opioid regimen.
Houston, TexasAges 18–64 - NCT04733599Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for long-term arm nerve pain
This trial tests whether a high-frequency spinal cord stimulator can reduce long-term nerve pain in the arm after a brachial plexus injury. It may help people whose pain has lasted at least 3 months despite standard treatments.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+

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.
