Blood flow restriction exercise for strength after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether controlled exercise with blood flow restriction (a gentle technique) can help you regain strength after an incomplete spinal cord injury. It is for people currently receiving care at Quality Living, Inc.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19–75 - NCT07583498Recruiting
Treating Muscle Stiffness After Spinal Cord Injury With Oxygen Therapy
This study tests whether brief periods of low oxygen (called acute intermittent hypoxia) can reduce muscle stiffness and tightness that develops after a spinal cord injury. Researchers believe this approach may help improve arm and hand function.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04855838Recruiting
Study of swallowing problems after neck spine surgery
This study looks at how swallowing recovers after surgery on the front of the neck spine after a trauma. Some people may also be followed more closely if a swallowing test shows a problem a few weeks after surgery.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT04007380Recruiting
Sleep problems after spinal cord injury study
This study looks at how sleep-disordered breathing (breathing problems during sleep) affects mood, thinking, and behavior after a spinal cord injury. It may help researchers understand the impact of these sleep breathing issues and guide better support for people after injury.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05473689Recruiting
Sleep study in early spinal cord injury
This study looks at how sleep quality affects movement problems after a new spinal cord injury. Researchers hope to identify sleep targets that could improve motor function during recovery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06643312Recruiting
Treadmill training with spinal stimulation for standing after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether combining treadmill training with spinal cord stimulation (TPAD) can help people with severe spinal cord injuries regain the ability to stand. It aims to improve standing function and may lead to better recovery.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07536386Recruiting
Robotic Exoskeleton Walking Aid for Spinal Cord Injury
This study tests a self-balancing robotic exoskeleton device designed to help people with spinal cord injuries stand and walk. Researchers will assess whether the device improves mobility and quality of life over nine visits to a research center.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07521930Recruiting
Brain implant to restore communication and movement control
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain device designed to help people with severe paralysis or movement disorders regain the ability to communicate and control their limbs. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into commands that could help you interact with computers or assistive technology.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT07488793Recruiting
Remote conditioning for spinal cord injury
This study tests a non-invasive method called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief cycles of inflation and deflation of a blood pressure cuff on the arm. It may help improve health outcomes for people with spinal cord injury who are not currently able to exercise.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07467382Recruiting
Observing Achilles Tendon During Walking
This study observes how the Achilles tendon works during walking in people who have had a stroke, a spinal cord injury, or in healthy volunteers. It aims to better understand gait problems.
NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT07456722Recruiting
Heart health in spinal cord injury with autonomic dysreflexia
This study looks at how the heart is built and works in people with long-term spinal cord injury, especially those who have autonomic dysreflexia. It might help doctors understand heart risks and improve care.
NottwilAges 18 years+ - NCT07461259Recruiting
Testing a new exoskeleton for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests a powered exoskeleton called TWIICE Rise to see if it is safe and possible for people with spinal cord injury to use it for walking. It may help if you have some movement or no movement in your legs but need help standing and walking with crutches.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18–70 - 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.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT07429188Recruiting
Study of upper-limb assistive device users
This study looks at how well upper-limb assistive devices (like robotic arms) work for people who use them and for their caregivers. You and your caregiver can help by sharing your experiences in video interviews.
PerpignanAges 18 years+ - NCT07432321Recruiting
Spinal cord injury trial testing spinal stimulation and arm training
This trial tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with arm and hand exercises can improve strength and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more control in your daily activities.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–80 - NCT07429305Recruiting
Nerve stimulation and standing for spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether combining a nerve stimulation therapy with standing exercises can improve bladder and bowel function after a spinal cord injury. It may help people who have nerve-related bladder problems.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT07407725Recruiting
Study of brain-computer interface use in ALS, spinal cord injury, and healthy adults
This study tests how well people with ALS, spinal cord injury, or healthy volunteers can use a brain-computer interface (BCI). The goal is to learn how to measure what the device can do, which may help people with severe communication or movement limitations.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07390591Recruiting
Patient views on bladder treatments for urinary symptoms
This study asks patients and caregivers about their experiences with bladder washes (instillations) using lactobacillus or gentamicin to manage urinary symptoms. Your feedback could help improve care for others like you.

Brain-computer implant study for severe paralysis or speech loss
This study tests a brain-computer implant that might help people with severe paralysis or speech loss control a computer with their thoughts. It is for people who have trouble moving and speaking due to a progressive disease or injury.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 22–75 - NCT07308808RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Safety of a live bacteria solution for bladder infections
This trial tests if putting a live bacteria called Lactobacillus crispatus into the bladder is safe for people with spinal cord injury and neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. It may help prevent urinary tract infections without antibiotics.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06829212Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for spinal cord injuries?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 381 recruiting spinal cord injuries studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a spinal cord injuries trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a spinal cord injuries trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
