ParisAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07083713Enrolling by invitation
Group coaching for life goals with chronic conditions
This study tests if group coaching helps people with certain chronic conditions set and achieve life goals. You would join phone or video sessions with a coach and others like you.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07030322Enrolling by invitation
Using a personal exoskeleton at home: health and cost study
This study looks at how using a wearable robotic exoskeleton in your home and community affects your health and finances. If eligible, you would use the device with a trained support person to see if it helps with daily mobility.
San Rafael, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06948175Enrolling by invitation
Abdominal stimulation for bowel issues after spinal cord injury
This trial tests if electrical stimulation on the stomach can help people with spinal cord injury have faster, easier bowel movements. It may help if your bowel routine takes longer than 30 minutes.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–80 - NCT06906536Enrolling by invitation
Intermittent low oxygen to improve leg function after spinal injury
This trial tests whether short, controlled sessions of low oxygen (like breathing thin air) can improve leg movement and blood markers in people with spinal cord injuries. It may help with walking or standing.
Boulder, ColoradoAges 18–75 - NCT06873776Enrolling by invitation
Arm and leg cycling to speed up spinal cord injury recovery
This study tests if regular arm and leg cycling exercises can help people with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk faster and recover more. You must be at least one year post-injury and able to walk a short distance with assistance.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT06552611RecruitingPhase 1
Spinal cord stimulation for hand function in MS
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spinal cord can help improve hand and arm function in people with MS. If you have MS and difficulty using your hands, you may be able to join.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–70 - 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+ - NCT06020417Recruiting
Spine screw placement using O-arm navigation
This trial tests whether using a special 3D X-ray navigation system (O-arm) helps place screws more accurately in spine surgery. It may help people with various spine problems who are having spinal fusion.
Teresina, PiauíAges 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.

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for spinal cord injuries?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 388 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.
