Recruiting studies near Cleveland
- NCT07738978Recruiting
Movement and health study for paralysis
This study is looking at ways to improve movement and health for people with paralysis from conditions like spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis. It involves exercises and may include electrical stimulation to help your leg and trunk muscles work better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06611748Recruiting
Hand function restoration after spinal cord injury
This trial tests a device to help people with cervical spinal cord injury improve hand function. It's for those with certain levels of paralysis and some residual arm strength.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04887688Recruiting
Electrical bandage for chronic wound treatment
This trial tests a new bandage that uses a mild electrical current to help heal chronic wounds. It's for veterans with spinal cord injuries or diabetes who have wounds that haven't healed.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06836739Recruiting
Genital nerve stimulation for bowel function after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the genital nerve can help people with spinal cord injury improve bowel control. If it works, this at-home device could reduce constipation and make bowel care easier and more predictable.
Cleveland, OhioAges 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+ - NCT06529094Recruiting
Preventing pressure injuries in spinal cord injury
This study tests a decision-support tool to help prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in veterans with spinal cord injury. It may be a good fit if you see a SCI clinic provider and can fill out a short survey.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07225582Recruiting
Best sensory feedback for hand function after spinal injury
This study is for people who have already received the ReHAB system in a previous trial. It aims to find the best ways to use sensory feedback from the device to help with hand and arm function after tetraplegia.
Cleveland, OhioAges 22–65 - NCT05863754Recruiting
Networked device that helps assess hand muscle movement
This trial tests a networked neuroprosthesis device designed to interact with nerves in the arm/hand to help assess grasp and release movements. It may help people with certain long-term spinal cord injuries regain more controlled hand function and researchers measure how well the system works.
Cleveland, OhioAges 16 years+ - NCT07768761Recruiting
Electrical stimulation exercise for lower limb paralysis
This trial tests whether a muscle exercise program using electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis in their legs. It may improve muscle strength, blood flow, or other health benefits.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06965127Recruiting
Walking implant for incomplete spinal cord injury
This trial tests an implant to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury walk better. It is for those who can walk slowly or with difficulty and have some muscle function in their trunk or legs.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT00623389Recruiting
Testing a leg neuroprosthesis for walking and leg control
This trial tests an advanced device that helps control and use your legs and trunk muscles for movement. It may help people with certain types of paralysis or weakness to improve function, while closely monitoring safety and comfort.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21–75 - NCT05626816Recruiting
Genital nerve stimulation to improve bowel control after spinal injury
This trial studies whether stimulating nerves near the genitals (a gentle electrical stimulation approach) can improve bowel function in people with spinal cord injury. It may help bowel control when bowel dysfunction is caused by nerve injury.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT01474148Recruiting
Neuroprosthesis to improve sitting posture and balance
This trial tests a special stimulation device (a “neuroprosthesis”) to help people with spinal cord injury improve how they sit upright and maintain balance. If you meet safety and readiness requirements, it may help your trunk and pelvic muscles work more effectively during posture and balance tasks.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT05302999RecruitingPhase 4
Early gabapentin for recovery after spinal cord injury
This trial studies whether starting gabapentin within 5 days after a traumatic spinal cord injury is safe and helpful for early recovery. It will mainly look at feasibility—whether patients can take the medicine and whether it affects early neurologic progress.

What taking part in a spinal cord injuries study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
