Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT01894802Recruiting
Brain recording and stimulation to help control a computer
This study tests a brain-machine interface that records brain activity and uses stimulation to help people with severe hand/arm movement loss communicate or control tasks using a computer. It may help restore some control and reduce dependence on hands that cannot be used normally.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 22–70 - NCT02331979Recruiting
Neuromodulation trial to improve bladder function after spinal injury
This trial tests a nerve-stimulation approach to improve bladder control in people with spinal cord injury. It specifically targets bladder problems that require clean intermittent catheter use and includes regular testing over 6 months.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–45 - NCT07417943Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve movement in hereditary spastic paraplegia
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called neuromodulation) can improve walking, balance, and other movements in adults with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). It may be a good fit if you can walk with or without help, have stable spasticity medications, and don't have a pacemaker or epilepsy.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT07432321Recruiting
Spinal cord injury trial testing spinal stimulation and arm training
This trial tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with arm and hand exercises can improve strength and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more control in your daily activities.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–80 - 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 - NCT07448883Recruiting
How well a Turkish scale measures spinal cord compression
This study tests a Turkish translation of a spinal cord function scale (mJOA) in people with degenerative cervical myelopathy. It helps doctors and patients better understand and track symptoms.
Buca, İzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT07461259Recruiting
Testing a new exoskeleton for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests a powered exoskeleton called TWIICE Rise to see if it is safe and possible for people with spinal cord injury to use it for walking. It may help if you have some movement or no movement in your legs but need help standing and walking with crutches.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18–70 - NCT07488793Recruiting
Remote conditioning for spinal cord injury
This study tests a non-invasive method called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief cycles of inflation and deflation of a blood pressure cuff on the arm. It may help improve health outcomes for people with spinal cord injury who are not currently able to exercise.
St Louis, MissouriAges 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+ - NCT07536386Recruiting
Robotic Exoskeleton Walking Aid for Spinal Cord Injury
This study tests a self-balancing robotic exoskeleton device designed to help people with spinal cord injuries stand and walk. Researchers will assess whether the device improves mobility and quality of life over nine visits to a research center.
ParisAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07610850Recruiting
Brain-controlled stimulation to improve arm and leg movement after stroke
This trial tests a new brain-controlled device that sends electrical signals to your spinal cord to help restore arm and leg movement after a stroke. If you had a stroke at least 9 months ago and have weakness on one side of your body, this may help you regain function.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18–70 - NCT07250828Enrolling by invitation
BurstDR spinal cord stimulation for painful diabetic neuropathy
This trial tests a type of spinal cord stimulation called BurstDR to see if it can reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage. It may help people with diabetes who have ongoing leg pain that hasn't gotten better with standard pain medications.
Grand Island, NebraskaAges 19 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+ - NCT07030322Enrolling by invitation
Using a personal exoskeleton at home: health and cost study
This study looks at how using a wearable robotic exoskeleton in your home and community affects your health and finances. If eligible, you would use the device with a trained support person to see if it helps with daily mobility.
San Rafael, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06948175Enrolling by invitation
Abdominal stimulation for bowel issues after spinal cord injury
This trial tests if electrical stimulation on the stomach can help people with spinal cord injury have faster, easier bowel movements. It may help if your bowel routine takes longer than 30 minutes.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–80 - NCT06906536Enrolling by invitation
Intermittent low oxygen to improve leg function after spinal injury
This trial tests whether short, controlled sessions of low oxygen (like breathing thin air) can improve leg movement and blood markers in people with spinal cord injuries. It may help with walking or standing.
Boulder, ColoradoAges 18–75 - NCT06873776Enrolling by invitation
Arm and leg cycling to speed up spinal cord injury recovery
This study tests if regular arm and leg cycling exercises can help people with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk faster and recover more. You must be at least one year post-injury and able to walk a short distance with assistance.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT05029726RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing medicine during back surgery to reduce pain
This trial tests a regional anesthesia (numbing medicine given near nerves) during minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. The goal is to see if it helps control pain around surgery and improves recovery comfort.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for spinal cord diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 260 recruiting spinal cord diseases 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 spinal cord diseases 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 spinal cord diseases 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.
