Deep brain stimulation to improve walking after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether stimulating a small area deep in the brain (the cuneiform nucleus) with a device called deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people walk better after a spinal cord injury. The goal is to see if it improves walking speed and stability.
Miami, FloridaAges 22–70 - NCT07106060Recruiting
Brain imaging of motor imagery effects in spinal cord injury
This study uses a special camera to see how imagining movement (motor imagery) affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injury. It aims to help understand how the brain recovers after injury.

How food affects calorie burning in high spinal cord injury
This study looks at how people with high spinal cord injuries (at or above the T6 level) burn calories after eating compared to people without spinal cord injuries. It aims to understand if injury affects food-related heat production, which may help improve nutrition and weight management.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT07099911Recruiting
Electrical stimulation and blood sugar control after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a type of electrical stimulation on leg muscles can help control blood sugar levels in people with spinal cord injury. It compares results to those without injury to see if this treatment might improve health.
Bath, United KingdomAges 18 years+ - NCT07105878Recruiting
Epidural stimulation for spinal cord injury recovery
This trial tests whether an implanted device that sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain movement. It is for those who have not seen recent improvement with rehab.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 16–60 - NCT07090057Recruiting
Targeting the plantaris muscle in ankle surgery for children
This study tests if removing the plantaris muscle during surgery improves ankle movement in children with tight heel cords. It aims to see if this extra step leads to better outcomes.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 4–17 - NCT07090473Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for recent spinal cord injury recovery
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation (called TENS) can help recovery after a recent spinal cord injury. It is for people who are already in the ICU with a drain in their lower back and had a blunt injury within the past 12 hours.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT04812431RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested stem cell transplant therapy for severe spinal cord injury
This trial tests a cell transplant approach for people with a very severe spinal cord injury. It focuses first on safety and also looks for early signs the therapy may improve function.
Suwon, GyeonggidoAges 18–65 - NCT06978205Recruiting
Balloon dilation for urine retention after spinal cord injury
This trial tests if a balloon dilation procedure in the urethra can help people with spinal cord injury empty their bladder naturally. It looks at whether the treatment reduces the need for catheters.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06939660Recruiting
Brain-spinal cord stimulation for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests if combining brain-computer interface technology with spinal cord stimulation can help improve walking in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It aims to see if this approach works when standard rehab has stopped helping.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 14–65 - NCT06920524Recruiting
Music therapy for stress during botox injections
This study tests whether listening to music can reduce stress and anxiety during botulinum toxin (botox) injections for muscle spasticity. It may help you feel more calm and comfortable during treatment.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT07062575Recruiting
Exoskeleton training at home for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests a wearable robot (exoskeleton) that helps people with spinal cord injuries walk at home. If you have a chronic injury and a helper, you may be able to join.
Hengstdal, UbbergenAges 18 years+ - NCT07052344Recruiting
Brain-gut connection study in spinal cord injury
This study looks at how the brain and gut communicate in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and healthy controls. It uses non-invasive methods to understand these signals, which might help improve bowel and overall health.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT07036107Recruiting
Exoskeleton rehab for spinal cord injury in Spain
This trial tests whether a wearable exoskeleton can help people with recent spinal cord injury improve their walking ability and quality of life. It focuses on patients treated in the Spanish healthcare system.
Toledo, Castille-La ManchaAges 18–70 - NCT07029802Recruiting
Body awareness study for adults with spinal cord injury
This study looks at how people with spinal cord injury (SCI) feel and picture their bodies. If you have had an SCI for one year or longer, you may help doctors better understand and measure this sense of body awareness.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05111093Recruiting
Epidural electrical stimulation for steadier blood pressure after spinal injury
This study tests a treatment that delivers electrical stimulation through an epidural device to help stabilize blood pressure and improve trunk control in people with a spinal cord injury. It may help reduce episodes of dizziness or drops in blood pressure when standing and support better body control during activity.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT07022808Recruiting
Exercise program for people with spinal cord injury
This trial tests a home-based exercise program for people with spinal cord injury. You join live video exercise classes and work with a trainer to improve your strength and movement.

Brain implant to help control devices with thoughts
This clinical trial tests a brain-computer interface (a small device implanted in the brain) that may help people with severe paralysis control external devices like a computer or tablet using only their thoughts. The study is for adults with paralysis from a spinal cord injury or ALS, and requires a stable caregiver.

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.
