Spinal Stimulation for Spinal Cord Injury
This study is testing a new way to use spinal cord stimulation to help people with spinal cord injuries. The goal is to see if it can improve movement or other functions.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18–65 - NCT06274021RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain stimulation to reduce leg stiffness after spinal cord injury
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (like a gentle magnetic pulse) to see if it can reduce muscle stiffness and spasms in the legs after a spinal cord injury. It may be a good option if you have ongoing leg stiffness and want a drug-free approach.
Jackson, MississippiAges 18 years+ - NCT06295146Recruiting
Getting help from a peer coach to learn wheelchair skills
This study tests whether virtual one-on-one training with a peer who has a spinal cord injury can help you learn new wheelchair skills. You'll practice using video calls, and you need a helper nearby to keep you safe during practice.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06313515Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation with arm bike for heart health in SCI
This study tests if adding spinal cord stimulation to arm bike exercise can improve heart and blood vessel health in people with chronic spinal cord injury. You would come to the clinic up to 3 times a week for up to 6 months.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–65 - NCT06438471RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for nerve pain after spinal cord injury
This trial tests an experimental pill for people with spinal cord injury who have long-term nerve pain. It aims to see if the drug can reduce pain and be safe.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06330181Recruiting
Virtual walking therapy for spinal cord injury nerve pain
This study tests a new virtual reality walking therapy program designed to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury reduce nerve pain. If you use a wheelchair and have lasting nerve pain, this could be a way to try a non-drug treatment from home.
College Station, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06345781Recruiting
Abdominal electrical stimulation for bowel management in spinal cord injury
This trial tests if a special electrical stimulation (FES) on your belly can help make your bowel routine more predictable and shorter. You'll use electrodes on your skin 30 minutes before your usual bowel program.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06406855Recruiting
Brain-controlled spinal stimulation walking therapy for spinal cord injury
This trial tests a therapy that uses a brain-controlled device to stimulate your spinal cord while you practice walking. It aims to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury improve their walking ability.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - 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+ - NCT06436716Recruiting
AI Model for Traumatic Neck Spinal Cord Injury
This study uses artificial intelligence and MRI scans to predict outcomes in people with a traumatic cervical spinal cord injury. The AI model combines imaging data with genetic information to help doctors make better treatment decisions.
Nantong, JiangsuAges Any age - NCT06443281Recruiting
Understanding pain after spinal cord injury or nerve damage
This study is looking at how people with spinal cord injuries or peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage outside the spine) experience pain. The goal is to better understand the different types of pain, which could help doctors create more personalized treatments in the future.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18–80 - NCT06451133Recruiting
Blood pressure management after traumatic spinal cord injury
This study tests a way to manage blood pressure after a traumatic spinal cord injury. It aims to improve blood flow to the injured area and help recovery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06452264Recruiting
Early cognitive training for thinking speed after spinal cord injury
This study tests a computer-based training program to help people with recent spinal cord injury improve how quickly they process information. It aims to see if early cognitive training can help with thinking speed after injury.
East Hanover, New JerseyAges 18–65 - NCT06464744Recruiting
Can brain stimulation help after spinal cord injury?
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, can improve movement and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help if you have some movement left below your injury level.
OsloAges 18–80 - NCT06472986Recruiting
Activity-based therapy with spinal stimulation for spinal cord injury
This study tests whether combining activity-based therapy (exercises to improve arm and hand function) with a mild electrical stimulation on the skin of your back can help people with chronic neck-level spinal cord injury regain more arm and hand movement.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for spinal cord injuries?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 387 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.
