Recruiting studies
- NCT06798844RecruitingPhase 2
Spinal cord stimulation for freezing of gait in Parkinson's
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulator can reduce freezing of gait (feeling stuck when walking) in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you if you have daily freezing episodes and are willing to have a small device implanted.

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 - NCT06815601Recruiting
Brain stimulation for better limb function after spinal cord injury
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation method can improve arm and hand function in people with spinal cord injury, as well as in healthy individuals. The goal is to find a safe and effective way to boost recovery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT06817577RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NG004 for recent spinal cord injury
This trial tests a new medicine called NG004 for people who have recently had a spinal cord injury in the neck area (cervical spine) and still have some movement and feeling. The goal is to see if it can help improve recovery.

Downey, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 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 - NCT07364773Recruiting
Motivational interviewing to boost rehab in spinal cord injury
This study looks at whether motivational interviewing—a supportive conversation style—can help patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) participate more fully in their rehab therapy. If you are an adult with SCI receiving inpatient rehab at certain hospitals, you may be able to join.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT02329652Recruiting
Bionic stimulation to help arm and trunk movement after spinal injury
This study tests a neuroprosthetic system that uses controlled stimulation to help restore movement in the arm and trunk after a spinal cord injury. If you qualify, it may help you regain practical strength and control for everyday tasks.
Cleveland, OhioAges 17 years+ - NCT03320759Recruiting
Improving recovery after non-traumatic spinal cord injury
This study looks at ways to help people recover after spinal cord injury that was not caused by trauma. It may help by testing an approach that is guided by regular MRI scans and repeat therapy visits.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03225625Enrolling by invitation
Stem cell, virtual reality, and training after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether stem cell treatment along with virtual reality–based training can improve function after spinal cord injury that is not expected to recover with standard care. It’s designed for adults who are medically stable and can safely complete follow-up assessments.
Coral Springs, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07502612Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation medication tapering study
This study tests whether lowering pain medication can improve how well spinal cord stimulation works. It is for people who already take certain pain medicines and are scheduled to try a spinal cord stimulator.

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.
