Spinal Cord Injuries clinical trials in Minnesota
We’re tracking 12 recruiting spinal cord injuries studies with a site in Minnesota — including Phase 1 and Phase 1/Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- NCT06140355Recruiting
Qigong for pain in spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a remote Qigong program can help reduce pain intensity in people with spinal cord injury and health disparities. You would practice gentle movements and breathing exercises from home using a computer or smartphone.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04493372Recruiting
Testing how well nerves control the heart after spinal cord injury
This study looks at how well the body’s automatic nerve functions (like heart and blood pressure control) work after a traumatic spinal cord injury. The goal is to better understand preserved nerve function and autonomic (automatic body) control, which could help guide future treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–50 - NCT05705453Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation study for long-term spinal injury outcomes
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects long-term recovery and daily functioning in people with stable spinal cord injury. You may be eligible if you already have an implanted, FDA-approved spinal cord stimulator and meet specific safety and timing rules.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 22 years+ - NCT05741788Recruiting
Telefitting spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain
This study checks a “remote fitting” process to set up spinal cord stimulation for people with high levels of pain. You may be a fit if you are planning a stimulation trial and have severe pain right now.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 22 years+ - NCT05776030Recruiting
Test of different-speed ergonomic wheelchairs for daily users
This study tests a wheelchair design that can better match how you move and sit while using a manual wheelchair every day. You may be able to try different wheelchair setups if you meet the safety, seating, and body-size requirements.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07029802Recruiting
Body awareness study for adults with spinal cord injury
This study looks at how people with spinal cord injury (SCI) feel and picture their bodies. If you have had an SCI for one year or longer, you may help doctors better understand and measure this sense of body awareness.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–75 - NCT07210411Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation after spinal cord injury
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects the body over time after a spinal cord injury. It may help understand if this treatment can improve nerve function and overall health.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–50 - NCT07384052RecruitingPhase 1
Nasal insulin for people with spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether insulin given as a nasal spray is safe and possible for people with spinal cord injury. If it works, it might help with nerve recovery or other health issues.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 18–84 - NCT03026816Recruiting
Epidural stimulation to improve function after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether stimulating the nerves in your spine (via an epidural device) can improve rehab-related function after a spinal cord injury. It focuses on people with stable, motor-complete paraplegia and long-term injuries, and it compares how you respond to the stimulation during rehabilitation.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 22 years+ - NCT07210437Recruiting
Autonomic changes and health problems after spinal cord injury
This study looks at how the autonomic nervous system (which controls things like heart rate and blood pressure) changes after a spinal cord injury. It aims to predict later health problems.

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.

Common questions
- Are there spinal cord injuries clinical trials in Minnesota?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 12 recruiting spinal cord injuries studies with a site in Minnesota, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a spinal cord injuries study in Minnesota?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Minnesota to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Minnesota, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a spinal cord injuries trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New spinal cord injuries studies open in Minnesota regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
