Recruiting studies
- NCT03161067Recruiting
Brain-based device trial for people with C4-C6 spinal injury
This trial tests a “brain-to-spinal” and “spinal-to-brain” device to improve control and signals after a spinal cord injury at the C4–C6 level. It involves an implanted recording system and monitoring sessions to see if the system works and is safe.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 22–65 - NCT06429735Recruiting
Robot-implanted brain-computer interface for severe paralysis
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device that lets you control a computer with your thoughts) that is implanted by a robot. It is for people with severe paralysis who may benefit from a new way to communicate or control devices.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 22–75 - NCT05321017Recruiting
Training wrist muscle signals after spinal cord injury
This trial studies a special training approach to improve weak wrist muscle function in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury. It focuses on improving brain-to-muscle electrical signals to help wrist extension, while keeping your current medicines stable.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06925425Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for arm skills in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests if a special electrical stimulation therapy, used during specific tasks, can improve arm and hand control in children with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. It aims to help kids with moderate to severe motor challenges gain better use of their upper limbs.
Alexandria, EgyptAges 2–6 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT01958086Recruiting
Visuomotor prosthetic for people with paralysis
This trial tests a prosthetic device that helps with movement by using brain-and-hand body signals to guide action. You may be able to join if you have paralysis from an injury or illness and can safely have surgery and frequent study visits.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 22–65 - NCT01964261Recruiting
Study of brain and nerve activity after high neck injury
This study looks at how the brain and nerves change their activity after a high neck (cervical) spinal injury. You may be asked to have imaging—likely an MRI—and to follow daily checks by a caregiver during the study.
Downey, CaliforniaAges 22–65 - NCT07433647Recruiting
Brain MRI changes in adults with cerebral palsy
This study looks at how the brain changes over time in people with cerebral palsy by reviewing MRI scans done as part of their regular care. It aims to understand brain health in adults with cerebral palsy.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT07640711Recruiting
Brain-Computer Interface for High Spinal Cord Injury
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) system designed to help people with severe spinal cord injuries regain some ability to move or control devices using their thoughts. The device reads signals directly from the brain to bypass the injured spinal cord.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18–70 - NCT06710626Enrolling by invitation
Using brain implants to control assistive devices
This trial looks at how well people who already have a Neuralink N1 brain implant can use it to control assistive devices like computers or wheelchairs. It's only for people already in the PRIME Study who meet certain safety and performance checks.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for quadriplegia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13 recruiting quadriplegia 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 quadriplegia 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 quadriplegia 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.
