Preventing pain after spinal cord injury with Pregabalin
This study tests if taking Pregabalin early after a spinal cord injury can prevent pain from developing. It's a drug that may help calm nerve signals.
RaananaAges 18 years+ - NCT05343130Recruiting
Brain-controlled electrical therapy for arm mobility after spinal injury
This trial studies a brain-computer system that helps control electrical stimulation to improve arm movement after a spinal cord injury. It may help with functional use of the upper limbs during rehabilitation if you meet the specific injury, spasticity, and safety requirements.
Tlalpan, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06908850Enrolling by invitation
Understanding erogenous zones after spinal cord injury
This study explores how a complete spinal cord injury changes erogenous zones in adult men who are heterosexual and were sexually active before the injury. The goal is to better understand sexual response after injury.
GarchesAges 18 years+ - NCT06903416RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nerve stimulation for arm and hand function after spinal cord injury
This study tests a non-invasive, painless nerve stimulation technique to see if it can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. It may help people who have had a neck-level injury more than 9 months ago.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–75 - NCT06892080Recruiting
Urine leakage and hormones in women with spinal cord injury
This pilot study looks at how urine leakage (incontinence) relates to sex hormones in women with a chronic spinal cord injury. You may be able to join if you are a woman with a steady menstrual cycle and some bladder issues.
NottwilAges 18 years+ - NCT06886386Enrolling by invitation
Nerve stimulation and physical therapy for spinal cord injury
This trial is testing whether a gentle electrical current (tsDCS) applied to the back of the head, along with physical therapy, can help improve movement and function in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury that happened more than a year ago.
Recife, PernambucoAges 18–55 - NCT06870331Recruiting
Probiotics for stomach health after spinal cord injury
This study tests if taking probiotics and prebiotics can help with digestion, gas, constipation, and other stomach issues in people with long-term spinal cord injury.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT06871254Recruiting
Spinal cord injury recovery trial
This trial tests a treatment to help people with chronic spinal cord injury improve arm and hand function. It combines two therapies to see if they work better together.
Heidelberg, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06867809Recruiting
Spinal and brain stimulation for arm movement after neck injury
This study tests whether using a combination of spinal and brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a cervical spinal cord injury (neck area) at least one year ago. It is for those with some remaining movement but not full strength.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04054414RecruitingPhase 2
Drug study for improving recovery after acute spinal cord injury
This Phase 2 trial tests sotateltide (PMZ-1620) in people with a recent spinal cord injury. It aims to see whether the drug can improve neurological recovery after injury, especially in certain levels and types of incomplete injuries.
BelagaviAges 18–75 - NCT06853015RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Double dose of 4-AP for spinal cord injury recovery
This study tests whether a higher dose of a drug called 4-AP can help improve leg movement and function after a spinal cord injury. It is for people who have had a spinal cord injury at or above the lower back and can already move their ankle and hip slightly.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT06841770RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a delivery device for spinal cord injury treatment
This trial tests a device that delivers a special cell therapy (LCTOPC1) into the spinal cord. It is for people with a recent or chronic spinal cord injury that is severe (no feeling or movement below the injury) or leaves some sensation but no movement.
Downey, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06839300Recruiting
Blood biomarkers in spinal cord injury study
This study is looking for people with a spinal cord injury from a blunt force (not a penetrating injury like a gunshot or stab wound) to see if certain substances in the blood (called biomarkers) can help doctors understand the injury better and predict recovery. It involves an initial blood sample within 24 hours of the injury and follow-up assessments.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 19 years+ - NCT06845904Recruiting

- 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.
