Recruiting studies
- NCT04782947RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Training with back stimulation after traumatic spinal cord injury
This trial studies whether epidural (back-of-spine) stimulation plus guided resistance training can improve strength and function after a traumatic spinal cord injury. It may help people who have an intact nerve pathway below their injury level and can safely use a rehab exoskeleton.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–60 - NCT04887688Recruiting
Electrical bandage for chronic wound treatment
This trial tests a new bandage that uses a mild electrical current to help heal chronic wounds. It's for veterans with spinal cord injuries or diabetes who have wounds that haven't healed.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04263285Recruiting
Repetitive brain stimulation for depression after spinal cord injury
This trial studies a brain-stimulation treatment to improve depression symptoms in people who have depression after a spinal cord injury. It may help if you have major depression and meet specific safety and eligibility checks.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–70 - NCT03698149Recruiting
Brain-signal training for hand and speech control after disability
This study tests whether recording brain signals can help people regain better control of movements in the arms and help with speech. It may be an option for people with significant disability from certain nerve and brain conditions who can safely take part in brain-monitoring procedures.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT02331979Recruiting
Neuromodulation trial to improve bladder function after spinal injury
This trial tests a nerve-stimulation approach to improve bladder control in people with spinal cord injury. It specifically targets bladder problems that require clean intermittent catheter use and includes regular testing over 6 months.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–45 - NCT01467869Recruiting
Male fertility study for men with spinal cord injury
This study looks at fertility (the ability to father a child) in men who have a spinal cord injury. It compares them with healthy men to understand how spinal cord injury may affect fertility.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–50 - 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.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT00623389Recruiting
Testing a leg neuroprosthesis for walking and leg control
This trial tests an advanced device that helps control and use your legs and trunk muscles for movement. It may help people with certain types of paralysis or weakness to improve function, while closely monitoring safety and comfort.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21–75 - NCT06950593Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests if a mild electrical current applied to the skin can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It is for those with significant arm weakness who are not currently in regular therapy.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07673354Enrolling by invitation
Spinal cord stimulation at home for hand and arm function in MS
This trial tests if gentle electrical stimulation can help improve hand and arm function in people with multiple sclerosis. You will use a small device at home with support from a caregiver.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–70 - NCT06310226Recruiting
Studying spinal cord stimulation for chronic low back pain
This study is looking at how people with chronic low back pain respond to spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spine to reduce pain). If you already have a spinal cord stimulator, you may help researchers understand how well it works and how it affects your brain.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT07768761Recruiting
Electrical stimulation exercise for lower limb paralysis
This trial tests whether a muscle exercise program using electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis in their legs. It may improve muscle strength, blood flow, or other health benefits.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05167786Recruiting
Electrical spinal cord stimulation for walking after stroke
This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05922644Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for consciousness recovery after brain bleed
This trial studies whether short-term spinal cord stimulation can help people regain consciousness after an intracerebral hemorrhage (brain bleed). It’s mainly for patients whose brain function tests suggest they are in a minimally conscious state and who are medically stable enough for the procedure.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07709754Recruiting
Lung stimulation for hard-to-control asthma
This trial tests a device that stimulates the lung to help people whose asthma is not controlled by standard treatments. It may offer a new option for those who still have symptoms despite using inhalers or biologic medicines.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–75 - NCT06644807Recruiting
Neuromodulation for phantom limb pain after amputation
This trial tests a new approach to suppress phantom limb pain using neuromodulation methods. It may help people who have had a limb amputated and continue to experience persistent pain.
Moscow, MoscowAges 18–65 - NCT06702904Recruiting
Neuroprosthesis for phantom limb pain relief
This study tests a new type of artificial limb (neuroprosthesis) that sends signals back to your brain to help reduce phantom limb pain and improve your daily life. You may be able to join if you have had an arm or leg amputation at least 6 months ago and have persistent pain.
MoscowAges 18–65 - 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07448883Recruiting
How well a Turkish scale measures spinal cord compression
This study tests a Turkish translation of a spinal cord function scale (mJOA) in people with degenerative cervical myelopathy. It helps doctors and patients better understand and track symptoms.
Buca, İzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT06630702Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for freezing gait in advanced Parkinson's
This trial tests if a small device placed near your spine (spinal cord stimulation) can help improve freezing of gait in people with advanced Parkinson's whose medicines aren't enough. It also aims to reduce leg pain if you have it.
Hsinchu, Hsinchu CityAges 40–85

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.
