Recruiting studies in New York
- NCT05305118Recruiting
Blood pressure–focused study after fresh spinal cord injury
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 - NCT07699094Recruiting

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+ - NCT03680872Recruiting
Brain-to-nerve study to improve hand movement after spinal injury
This trial tests a “neural bypass” approach to help restore hand movement and feeling in people with tetraplegia from a spinal cord injury. You would have repeated visits for brain/nerve testing and may receive study procedures to see if function improves.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 22–65 - 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 - NCT05553457Recruiting
Active hand brace study for C6–C7 spinal cord injury
This trial tests an active hand brace designed to help people with C6–C7 spinal cord injury improve hand and finger movement. It may help with daily hand use by training and supporting weaker motor control after injury.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06815601Recruiting
Brain stimulation for better limb function after spinal cord injury
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation method can improve arm and hand function in people with spinal cord injury, as well as in healthy individuals. The goal is to find a safe and effective way to boost recovery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT06867809Recruiting
Spinal and brain stimulation for arm movement after neck injury
This study tests whether using a combination of spinal and brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a cervical spinal cord injury (neck area) at least one year ago. It is for those with some remaining movement but not full strength.
New York, New YorkAges 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.
New York, New YorkAges 18–75 - 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 - 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.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 21–75 - NCT04755699RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Electrical stimulation study for hand or limb movement recovery
This early-stage study tests whether regular, skin-based electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis or weakness regain movement. You would attend frequent clinic sessions for months, while the team checks your ability to follow instructions and your safety.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18–75 - 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 - 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+ - NCT05926596Recruiting
Leg stretching with an on-demand exoskeleton for spasticity
This trial studies whether a wearable exoskeleton that helps with leg stretching can reduce stiffness and improve movement in people with spasticity after a spinal cord injury. It may help you stretch more safely and comfortably, but you must meet specific health and device-wear requirements.
Syracuse, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT07222033Recruiting
Self-balancing exoskeleton for spinal cord injury
This trial will test a self-balancing personal exoskeleton for people with spinal cord injuries. It may help you walk again and improve your mobility.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07433959Recruiting
Electrical stimulation to improve hand grip after spinal cord injury
This study tests a new way to use mild electrical pulses on your neck to help improve your ability to grip and grasp things. It may help if you have had a cervical spinal cord injury for at least a year and still have some finger movement.

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.
