AnkaraAges 18–60 - NCT07022808Recruiting
Exercise program for people with spinal cord injury
This trial tests a home-based exercise program for people with spinal cord injury. You join live video exercise classes and work with a trainer to improve your strength and movement.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT07105878Recruiting
Epidural stimulation for spinal cord injury recovery
This trial tests whether an implanted device that sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain movement. It is for those who have not seen recent improvement with rehab.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 16–60 - NCT07147296Recruiting
Implant to manage blood pressure swings after spinal cord injury
This trial tests an implanted device that may help control drops in blood pressure caused by spinal cord injury. If you often feel dizzy or lightheaded due to low blood pressure, this study could explore whether the device improves stability.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18–75 - NCT07153536Recruiting
Spinal stimulation and therapy for arm weakness after stroke
This trial tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have significant weakness in one arm.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 22–70 - NCT07204184Recruiting
Spinal stimulation to improve recovery after spinal cord injury
This study tests a gentle electrical stimulation on the spine to help improve movement and recovery after a spinal cord injury. It uses a special therapy called transspinal stimulation while you walk in a robotic device.
Staten Island, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT07227740Recruiting
Testosterone treatment for blood vessel health after spinal cord injury
This study looks at whether low testosterone affects blood vessel health in men with recent spinal cord injury. It tests if testosterone replacement can help improve blood vessel function.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18–89 - NCT07264868Recruiting
Home nerve stimulator for bladder control after spinal cord injury
This study tests a portable nerve stimulator you can use at home to help control bladder function after a spinal cord injury. The device sends gentle pulses to a nerve in your ankle to improve bladder symptoms like urgency or leakage.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT07343583Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for bladder control after spinal cord injury
This study tests if stimulating nerves in the lower back or ankle can help improve bladder function in people who have a recent spinal cord injury above the T11 vertebra (mid-back). It aims to find a new way to manage bladder problems without medication.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–65 - NCT07397559Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for spinal cord injury recovery
This trial tests a spinal cord stimulation device to help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain leg movement. It aims to improve muscle control and function.
St Louis, MissouriAges 16–65 - NCT07501429RecruitingPhase 1
Shockwave therapy for arm spasticity after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether shockwave therapy can reduce muscle tightness in the elbow and wrist caused by spinal cord injury. It may help make daily tasks like dressing or bathing easier.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07511244Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for bladder and bowel control after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation can help improve bladder and bowel function in people who have had a spinal cord injury for more than 6 months. The goal is to see if this treatment can restore more control and quality of life.
BeijingAges 18–60 - NCT07578532Recruiting
Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder After Spinal Cord Injury
This trial tests two non-surgical treatments—magnetic and electrical nerve stimulation applied to the skin over the sacrum (base of spine)—to help control bladder overactivity in people with spinal cord injury. The goal is to reduce involuntary bladder contractions and improve bladder control.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT03047369Recruiting
Myelin brain disorder research biobank for samples and data
This study collects brain-related medical information and biological samples to help researchers better understand leukodystrophies and other white-matter brain disorders. It may help future diagnosis and treatments by building a valuable “biobank” of patient data and samples.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06775925Recruiting
Robot-assisted vs. standard arm therapy for spinal cord injury
This trial compares robot-assisted arm therapy with standard occupational therapy to see which helps people with a recent cervical spinal cord injury regain hand and arm function better. You may be eligible if you are in early rehab and have limited use of your arms or hands.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT06677229RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety and effectiveness of TZ-161 for spinal cord injury
This trial tests a new medicine called TZ-161 in people who have recently had a spinal cord injury in the chest area. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help improve movement.
CórdobaAges 18–65 - NCT04054414RecruitingPhase 2
Drug study for improving recovery after acute spinal cord injury
This Phase 2 trial tests sotateltide (PMZ-1620) in people with a recent spinal cord injury. It aims to see whether the drug can improve neurological recovery after injury, especially in certain levels and types of incomplete injuries.
BelagaviAges 18–75 - NCT05942339Recruiting
Testing ARC-IM lumbar therapy to help walking after spinal cord injury
This study tests a therapy using an implanted spinal array and a lumbar system (ARC-IM) to support mobility in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It focuses on whether the approach is safe and may improve walking or movement over time.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18–65 - NCT06215625Recruiting
Smart arm rehab for stroke and spinal cord injury
This study tests a smart home-based upper limb rehabilitation program for people with stroke or spinal cord injury. It uses technology to help improve arm and hand movement.
TainanAges 20–79 - NCT06410001RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cervical stimulation study for spinal cord injury recovery
This study tests whether a device placed near the spinal cord in your neck (called an epidural stimulator) can help improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. It's designed for people with a long-term, motor-complete injury between the C4 and C7 levels.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 22 years+ - NCT06511934Recruiting
BrainGate2 tablet trial for tetraplegia
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (BrainGate2) system for people with tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs). It aims to see if the system can help you control a tablet computer using only your brain signals. This is for people who were already in the BrainGate2 study.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06596174Recruiting
Spinal stimulation and ankle training for spinal cord injury
This trial tests if adding a non-invasive spinal stimulation technique to ankle movement training can improve recovery in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It might be relevant if you have had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are not on certain medications.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT06672458Recruiting
Electrical stimulation to help arm and hand function after spinal cord injury
This trial uses a non-invasive device called MyndMove to apply small electrical pulses to the arm muscles, helping to improve movement after a spinal cord or nerve injury. It may be an option for people who still have some connection between their brain and arm muscles.

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.
