Recruiting studies
- NCT06650202Recruiting
Robotic stand trainer and spinal cord stimulation for balance

Gainesville, FloridaAges 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07095036Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation and sensation study
This study looks at how a spinal cord stimulator affects your sense of touch and movement. It may help doctors better understand how this device works for people with chronic pain.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–85 - NCT04812431RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested stem cell transplant therapy for severe spinal cord injury
This trial tests a cell transplant approach for people with a very severe spinal cord injury. It focuses first on safety and also looks for early signs the therapy may improve function.
Suwon, GyeonggidoAges 18–65 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06066918Recruiting
Preventing pain after spinal cord injury with Pregabalin
This study tests if taking Pregabalin early after a spinal cord injury can prevent pain from developing. It's a drug that may help calm nerve signals.
RaananaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06841770RecruitingPhase 1
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 - 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.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT06845904Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for bladder control after injury
This trial tests whether using mild electrical pulses on the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain better control of their bladder. It might be an option if you've tried other treatments without success.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT06804642Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for Parkinson's walking rehab
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin on your lower back (called spinal cord stimulation) can help improve walking and movement in people with Parkinson's disease. It involves some rehabilitation exercises, and the goal is to see if this combination can help you move better.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18–80 - NCT06583395Enrolling by invitation
Meditation retreat study with fitness tracker
This trial studies people attending a 7-day meditation retreat to see how meditation affects well-being. You will wear a fitness tracker and answer surveys.
Palm Desert, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT05731986Recruiting
Skin nerve stimulation to raise blood pressure after spinal injury
This study tests whether a device that delivers mild electrical stimulation through the skin can improve low blood pressure after an acute spinal cord injury. It may help reduce episodes of dizziness or faint-feeling caused by blood pressure dropping when you sit up.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT06552507Recruiting
Duraplasty for severe neck spinal cord injury
This trial tests a surgery called duraplasty (widening the protective covering of the spinal cord) for people with severe neck spinal cord injuries. It aims to see if this extra procedure helps improve recovery compared to standard surgery alone.
Taoyuan, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT05725499Recruiting
Check if skin stimulation lowers blood pressure drops after spinal injury
This study tests a skin “stimulation” treatment to see if it helps stabilize blood pressure in people with spinal cord injury who get low blood pressure when sitting up. If you often have dizziness, faintness, or low readings after changing positions, this trial may help find safer ways to manage it.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT06520020Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spine can be safely used for people with spinal cord injury. If you have had a surgery to stabilize your spine, this stimulation could help with recovery.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–80 - NCT06494059Recruiting
New brain and spine stimulation for spinal cord injury recovery
This study tests a new type of non-invasive stimulation (brain and spine) to help improve movement in people with spinal cord injury. It targets arm, leg, or trunk function depending on your injury level.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT06438471RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for nerve pain after spinal cord injury
This trial tests an experimental pill for people with spinal cord injury who have long-term nerve pain. It aims to see if the drug can reduce pain and be safe.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06313515Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation with arm bike for heart health in SCI
This study tests if adding spinal cord stimulation to arm bike exercise can improve heart and blood vessel health in people with chronic spinal cord injury. You would come to the clinic up to 3 times a week for up to 6 months.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–65 - NCT06293157Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for spinal cord diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 255 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.
