This study tests whether mindfulness training with virtual reality can help veterans with spinal cord injury manage chronic pain. It is done from home using a VR headset and group video calls.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06225245Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for arm recovery
This study tests whether a device placed on the spinal cord (called an epidural stimulator) can help improve arm and hand function in people with chronic spinal cord injuries. The goal is to boost nerve activity and make rehabilitation more effective.
Houston, TexasAges 22–65 - NCT05968664Recruiting
Test whether new spinal cord stimulation settings improve chronic pain
This trial studies whether changing the “stimulation pattern” of spinal cord stimulation can reduce long-lasting pain and improve daily function. You might be a good candidate if you have chronic trunk or leg pain and have already tried multiple pain treatments without enough relief.
Houston, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT06559618RecruitingPhase 1
Phage therapy for bladder bacteria in spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a special virus (bacteriophage) that attacks E. coli bacteria can help control bacteria in the bladder without causing an infection. It's for people with spinal cord injury who use a catheter and have E. coli in their urine but no active infection.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06543277Recruiting
Nerve stimulation with hand therapy for spinal cord injury
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive nerve stimulation on the ear combined with arm and hand therapy to see if it can improve movement and function for people with neck-level spinal cord injury who still have some hand ability.
Houston, TexasAges 18 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06596291RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy trial for bladder control after spinal cord injury
This trial tests a new gene therapy called EG110A for people with overactive bladders due to spinal cord injury. It aims to reduce urinary incontinence and may offer an option if other treatments haven't worked well.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT07507422Recruiting
Post-market study of Inceptiv spinal cord stimulation
This study follows people receiving Inceptiv, a spinal cord stimulator from Medtronic, to see how well it works over time. It is for adults with chronic back or limb pain who have not tried spinal cord stimulation before.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06288763Recruiting
Nerve transfer to improve arm function in high-level tetraplegia
This study tests whether transferring a nerve from a working muscle can help restore function in the arm or hand for people with high-level tetraplegia. It may be an option if you've stopped improving with standard therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06213012Recruiting
Spinal stimulation and rehabilitation for walking recovery after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve your ability to stand and walk after a spinal cord injury. It explores how your brain and spinal cord can adapt and rebuild connections to help you move better.
Houston, TexasAges 22–75 - NCT00178724Recruiting
Spinal cord injury registry for people after a first trauma
This trial is a registry that collects information about people 18 and older who have a first spinal cord injury caused by trauma. By sharing details, you help researchers better understand outcomes and care needs after these injuries.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02769416Enrolling by invitation
Testing new treatments for spinal cord and brain injuries
This study looks for ways to test treatments for people with spinal cord injuries and/or brain injuries. It may help researchers better understand which treatment approaches work and for whom.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00912041Recruiting
Test of a brain-to-computer device for quadriplegia
This study tests whether a tiny brain computer interface can help people with quadriplegia (loss of movement in all four limbs) communicate or control technology. It’s mainly a feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the device can work safely and reliably in real life.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT04565925RecruitingPhase 2
Sildenafil to reduce urine leaks after spinal cord injury
This trial studies whether sildenafil (a prescription pill) can lessen urinary incontinence in adults with spinal cord injuries. If it works, it may reduce the number of urine leakage episodes each week.

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.
