Check if skin stimulation lowers blood pressure drops after spinal injury
This study tests a skin “stimulation” treatment to see if it helps stabilize blood pressure in people with spinal cord injury who get low blood pressure when sitting up. If you often have dizziness, faintness, or low readings after changing positions, this trial may help find safer ways to manage it.

Louisville, KentuckyAges 7–12 - NCT06494059Recruiting
New brain and spine stimulation for spinal cord injury recovery
This study tests a new type of non-invasive stimulation (brain and spine) to help improve movement in people with spinal cord injury. It targets arm, leg, or trunk function depending on your injury level.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT06455137Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for spinal cord injury recovery
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve movement and muscle control in people with spinal cord injury. If you've had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are between 20-70 years old, this might help improve leg function and walking.
Hualien CityAges 20–70 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06351111Enrolling by invitation
Vagus nerve stimulation for spinal cord injury follow-on study
This study tests whether vagus nerve stimulation can help people with spinal cord injury improve arm, leg, bladder, or sensory function. You must have completed an earlier phase of this research to join.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–64 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT06242873Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for kids with incomplete injuries
This study tests if mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help children ages 3 to 16 with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk better. It is important for children who still have some movement in their legs but need extra help to improve their walking.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 3–16 - NCT06243211Recruiting
Spinal Decompression and Nerve Graft for Acute SCI
This study tests whether surgery to take pressure off the spinal cord, plus placing a small nerve graft, can help recovery after a severe spinal cord injury. It is for people with a recent injury who have lost all movement and feeling below the level of injury.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–80 - NCT06247904Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for arm paralysis after spinal cord injury
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation method (NIBS) to help people with recent spinal cord injuries regain arm and hand function. It is designed for patients who have some paralysis in their arms but still have some movement or sensation below their injury level.
Elkins Park, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT06211491Recruiting
Bladder filling speed and autonomic dysreflexia in spinal cord injury
This trial compares how fast the bladder is filled during a urodynamic test and how that affects autonomic dysreflexia (a sudden rise in blood pressure) in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It aims to find safer testing methods.

Spinal stimulation and rehabilitation for walking recovery after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve your ability to stand and walk after a spinal cord injury. It explores how your brain and spinal cord can adapt and rebuild connections to help you move better.

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.
