This study tests a brain-computer implant that might help people with severe paralysis or speech loss control a computer with their thoughts. It is for people who have trouble moving and speaking due to a progressive disease or injury.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 22–75 - NCT06287736Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for diabetic nerve pain
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals) can help people with diabetic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. If you have long-term nerve pain from diabetes and other pain meds haven't worked, this trial might be an option for you.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05556902Recruiting
Testing how epidural spinal cord stimulation may help chronic pain
This study looks at how a device that sends mild signals to the area around your spinal cord may work for long-lasting (chronic) pain. You may be asked to visit a research lab, have blood taken, and follow the study plan so researchers can understand the treatment’s effects.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–89 - NCT06839300Recruiting
Blood biomarkers in spinal cord injury study
This study is looking for people with a spinal cord injury from a blunt force (not a penetrating injury like a gunshot or stab wound) to see if certain substances in the blood (called biomarkers) can help doctors understand the injury better and predict recovery. It involves an initial blood sample within 24 hours of the injury and follow-up assessments.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 19 years+ - NCT07673354Enrolling by invitation
Spinal cord stimulation at home for hand and arm function in MS
This trial tests if gentle electrical stimulation can help improve hand and arm function in people with multiple sclerosis. You will use a small device at home with support from a caregiver.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–70 - NCT06924177Recruiting
Spinal cord injury diet study for wheelchair users
This study tests a special diet program for people with spinal cord injuries who use a wheelchair. It aims to see if the diet can improve health and well-being.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07516067Recruiting
Spinal Cord Stimulation to Help Children With Cerebral Palsy Move Better
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spine can help children with cerebral palsy improve their movement and walking. Researchers will compare children who receive this treatment with children who don't have cerebral palsy to see if it makes a real difference.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 5–17 - NCT07627516Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for arm and leg weakness after stroke
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulation device—a small implant that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help improve arm and leg strength and movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and haven't fully recovered with regular therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 20–80 - NCT03509558Recruiting
Tapping a device on the back plus leg exercise for walking
This study tests whether a device placed on the back can help improve leg movement and walking ability after a spinal cord injury. It combines the device with supervised physical therapy over many weeks to see if it helps with daily mobility.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–70 - NCT06796920Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for leg problems in adrenomyeloneuropathy
This trial tests a small device placed near your spinal cord (called epidural spinal cord stimulation) to see if it can help improve leg movement and stiffness in people with adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). If you have AMN and trouble walking due to leg stiffness, this study may explore a new option for you.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 22–50 - NCT06552611RecruitingPhase 1
Spinal cord stimulation for hand function in MS
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spinal cord can help improve hand and arm function in people with MS. If you have MS and difficulty using your hands, you may be able to join.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–70 - NCT06377969Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for chronic pelvic pain
This study tests a device called a spinal cord stimulator — a small implant that sends mild electrical pulses to nerves in your spine — to see if it can reduce long-term pelvic pain that hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05411523Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation study for long-term chemotherapy nerve pain
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation can reduce pain and improve quality of life in people with long-lasting nerve pain from chemotherapy (CIPN). You must already have tried at least two nerve-pain medicines and still have significant pain, and you must have had a successful spinal cord stimulator test before joining.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05786313Recruiting
Open-door neck surgery plan for cervical spinal narrowing
This study looks at a more tailored and standardized surgical approach for people with neck spinal narrowing and spinal cord symptoms. It may help doctors compare and improve how well surgery works for different patients.
Xi'an, Shannxi ProvinceAges 28–85 - NCT07467187Recruiting
Home Ventilation with Tracheostomy in Denmark (2016–2025)
This study looks at people in Denmark who need a home ventilator through a tracheostomy. It aims to understand their care and outcomes over several years.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT06596187Recruiting
Study of muscle tightness in spinal cord injury and Parkinson's
This study looks at muscle tightness (hypertonia) in people with spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, and healthy volunteers. It aims to better understand and measure different types of stiffness to improve treatments.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT07488026Recruiting
Brain stimulation for mobility in Parkinson's disease
This trial tests if a type of brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation) applied to different areas of the brain can improve walking and movement in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see which stimulation site works best for reducing freezing of gait and improving daily mobility.
Recife, PernambucoAges 40 years+ - NCT05644171Recruiting
Epidural spinal stimulation for chronic spinal cord injury recovery
This trial tests whether a stimulating device placed near the spinal cord can help improve movement and rehabilitative function in people with long-term spinal cord injuries. It may help some patients strengthen function, but only if they meet specific injury and health requirements.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT02323945Recruiting
Low-oxygen breathing to improve leg movement after spinal injury
This study tests whether breathing brief, mild low-oxygen air (under supervision) can improve leg mobility in people with a certain type of spinal cord injury. It may help with regaining movement, especially if you can already move your legs voluntarily but still have mobility limits.
Cambridge, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT06363357Recruiting
Shoulder brace study for arm weakness from nerve or muscle diseases
This study tests a fabric shoulder brace that moves like a muscle. It may help people with nerve or muscle diseases improve arm movements like reaching and lifting.
Seoul, Jongno-guAges 10 years+ - NCT05094362Recruiting
Training to reduce stiff leg reflexes after spinal cord injury
This study tests a special training approach designed to calm overactive leg reflexes (spasticity) after spinal cord injury. If you qualify, you may do structured walking/reflex training to see whether your leg reflexes and movement improve.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06589999Recruiting
Better MRI for spinal cord inflammation
This study tests a new MRI technique called MP2RAGE to see if it can better detect spinal cord damage caused by inflammatory diseases like multiple sclerosis. If you already need a spinal MRI for your condition, this extra scan may help doctors find problems earlier.

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.
