Recruiting studies near New York
- NCT05163639RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Noninvasive brain and spinal training for spinal cord injury
This early study tests a noninvasive way of training the nervous system to see how it affects “associative plasticity,” or the brain/spinal cord’s ability to change with practice. It may help researchers learn strategies that could improve function for people with spinal cord injury.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT07222033Recruiting

This study looks at a treatment approach for people with a new spinal cord injury who have unstable blood pressure. It may help the team understand how to manage blood pressure problems during early recovery.
New York, New YorkAges 18–89 - NCT06000592Recruiting
Spinal stimulation to stabilize blood pressure after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a non-invasive device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help people with a recent spinal cord injury keep their blood pressure steady. It's designed for those who experience low blood pressure when sitting or standing, which can cause dizziness or fainting.
New York, New YorkAges 14–100 - NCT06701422Recruiting
Neck Spinal Cord Stimulation for Recovery After Surgery
This study tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord in the neck can help you recover function after cervical spine surgery. It is for people who need neck surgery and do not already have a stimulator device in their neck or chest.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07539025Recruiting
How the Spinal Cord Learns and Adapts
This study explores how your spinal cord can learn and change through repeated movements. Researchers will ask you to participate in up to 4 sessions to understand how the nervous system adapts, which may help improve treatments for spinal cord injuries in the future.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - 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.
New York, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT06104735Recruiting
Hand training with brain and spinal cord stimulation after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether combining hand exercises with stimulation of the brain and spinal cord can improve hand function after a spinal cord injury. You would attend about 53 study visits at the Bronx VA Medical Center.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT06130449RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testosterone and brain function in men with spinal cord injury
This study tests whether testosterone can help brain function in men with spinal cord injury and low testosterone. If you qualify, you would receive testosterone treatment and have your brain activity measured over about a month.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT07699094Recruiting
Predicting blood pressure changes in spinal cord injury
This study uses a simple finger sensor to monitor blood pressure regulation in people with spinal cord injury. It aims to find a new way to predict and manage blood pressure issues.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT07251491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Psilocybin for depression after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether psilocybin (a substance found in certain mushrooms) can help treat depression in people with a spinal cord injury. You would receive the study drug in a controlled setting, and your progress would be monitored closely.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT07625332RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Galantamine for Metabolic Syndrome in Spinal Cord Injury
This study tests whether a medication called galantamine can help improve metabolic syndrome (a cluster of health conditions including obesity, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol) in people with chronic spinal cord injury. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce health risks and improve overall wellness.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 21–75 - NCT06777576Recruiting
Self-balancing exoskeleton for spinal cord injury
This trial tests a self-balancing exoskeleton (a wearable robotic suit) to help people with spinal cord injuries stand and walk. It is designed for those with injuries at or above the T6 level and looks at how well the device works and how it feels to use.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04047992Recruiting
Training seated balance with the Indego leg device
This study tests whether using the Indego device can improve balance and movement for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). You would practice standing or balance tasks with the device if you meet the safety and fit requirements.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06814015Recruiting
Self-balancing exoskeleton for spinal cord injury
This trial tests a self-balancing exoskeleton (a wearable robotic device) to help people with spinal cord injury stand and walk. It is for people with injury at or above T6, at least 6 months past injury, and a caregiver who can help during the study visits.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06773286Recruiting
Stimulation and therapy for hand function after spinal cord injury
This trial is testing a safe method of electrical stimulation through the skin (called transcutaneous stimulation) combined with physical therapy to help people who recently had a cervical spinal cord injury improve hand and arm function. It is designed for people who are still in the hospital rehab setting.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT05731986Recruiting
Skin nerve stimulation to raise blood pressure after spinal injury
This study tests whether a device that delivers mild electrical stimulation through the skin can improve low blood pressure after an acute spinal cord injury. It may help reduce episodes of dizziness or faint-feeling caused by blood pressure dropping when you sit up.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT07042815Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for spinal cord stimulation after injury
This trial checks on people who already have a spinal cord stimulator from past research, to see how well it works over time. It looks at safety and how the device affects daily life.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05725499Recruiting
Check if skin stimulation lowers blood pressure drops after spinal injury
This study tests a skin “stimulation” treatment to see if it helps stabilize blood pressure in people with spinal cord injury who get low blood pressure when sitting up. If you often have dizziness, faintness, or low readings after changing positions, this trial may help find safer ways to manage it.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT06650202Recruiting
Robotic stand trainer and spinal cord stimulation for balance
This trial tests whether combining a robotic stand trainer with spinal cord epidural stimulation can improve balance in people with spinal cord injury. It is for individuals who already have an implanted stimulation unit and cannot stand on their own without it.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - 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.

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.
