Pelvic rehab with spinal cord stimulation after injury
This study tests a spinal cord stimulator to help improve bladder and pelvic function in people with a spinal cord injury. You would use a small device placed near the spine that sends electrical pulses to help control your bladder better.
StanmoreAges 18 years+ - NCT06514950Recruiting
Yoga breathing for heart and lung health after spinal cord injury
This study tests a gentle yoga breathing program using a smartphone app to help people with spinal cord injury improve how their heart and lungs work together. It might be a good fit if you use a wheelchair, have a compatible smartphone, and are otherwise healthy.
Cambridge, MassachusettsAges 18–60 - NCT06515132Recruiting

This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation can help people who have been minimally conscious for months after a brain injury. It aims to improve awareness and responsiveness by using mild electrical pulses.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–65 - NCT06529094Recruiting
Preventing pressure injuries in spinal cord injury
This study tests a decision-support tool to help prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in veterans with spinal cord injury. It may be a good fit if you see a SCI clinic provider and can fill out a short survey.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06533969Recruiting
Brain signals for controlling assistive devices
This study is for adults with a spinal cord injury who want to help researchers improve devices like wheelchairs or robotic arms. They will record your brain signals to see how you can control assistive tools.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06540859Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for recovery after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve bladder, bowel, and other automatic body functions during inpatient rehab after a recent spinal cord injury. It's for people who have a non-worsening injury at or above the T6 level and are within 4 months of their injury.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–65 - NCT06541041Recruiting
Nerve transfer with electrical stimulation for hand function after spinal injury
This trial tests a surgery that moves nerves (nerve transfers) plus gentle electrical stimulation to help people with spinal cord injury regain hand movement. It may be a good fit if you have a C6 or C7 injury and haven't had hand surgery before.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06543277Recruiting
Nerve stimulation with hand therapy for spinal cord injury
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive nerve stimulation on the ear combined with arm and hand therapy to see if it can improve movement and function for people with neck-level spinal cord injury who still have some hand ability.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06559618RecruitingPhase 1
Phage therapy for bladder bacteria in spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a special virus (bacteriophage) that attacks E. coli bacteria can help control bacteria in the bladder without causing an infection. It's for people with spinal cord injury who use a catheter and have E. coli in their urine but no active infection.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06587841Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for early spinal cord injury
This study tests a noninvasive spinal cord stimulation device for people with recent or long-term spinal cord injury. It aims to improve bladder function and is conducted in British Columbia, Canada, and Ukraine.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19–65 - NCT06596174Recruiting
Spinal stimulation and ankle training for spinal cord injury
This trial tests if adding a non-invasive spinal stimulation technique to ankle movement training can improve recovery in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It might be relevant if you have had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are not on certain medications.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT06596291RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy trial for bladder control after spinal cord injury
This trial tests a new gene therapy called EG110A for people with overactive bladders due to spinal cord injury. It aims to reduce urinary incontinence and may offer an option if other treatments haven't worked well.
Downey, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06596369RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Spinal cord stimulation for arm function after injury or stroke
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over your spine can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury or stroke. It is for people with some preserved movement in their upper body.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–75 - NCT05321017Recruiting
Training wrist muscle signals after spinal cord injury
This trial studies a special training approach to improve weak wrist muscle function in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury. It focuses on improving brain-to-muscle electrical signals to help wrist extension, while keeping your current medicines stable.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06650202Recruiting
Robotic stand trainer and spinal cord stimulation for balance
This trial tests whether combining a robotic stand trainer with spinal cord epidural stimulation can improve balance in people with spinal cord injury. It is for individuals who already have an implanted stimulation unit and cannot stand on their own without it.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06672458Recruiting
Electrical stimulation to help arm and hand function after spinal cord injury
This trial uses a non-invasive device called MyndMove to apply small electrical pulses to the arm muscles, helping to improve movement after a spinal cord or nerve injury. It may be an option for people who still have some connection between their brain and arm muscles.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT06677905Recruiting
Peer health coaching for new spinal cord injury patients
This trial tests a peer health coaching program for people with spinal cord injuries who have recently left inpatient rehab. It aims to help you adjust to community living with support from someone who has been through a similar experience.
Milford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06688916Recruiting
Body awareness after spinal cord injury
This study examines how people with spinal cord injury experience their body and sense of self. You will answer questionnaires and may have an MRI scan of your brain while parts of your body are touched, to see how your brain reacts.

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 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.
