Recruiting studies
- NCT05426681RecruitingPhase 1
Glyburide to protect the spinal cord after injury
This Phase 1 trial tests whether glyburide, a drug used for blood sugar, can help protect nerve tissue after an acute spinal cord injury. It’s mainly focused on safety and early signs that the treatment might be beneficial for people with certain levels of spinal cord damage.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–80 - NCT05351827Recruiting
Mild intermittent hypoxia for autonomic function in spinal cord injury
This study is testing whether mild intermittent hypoxia (brief episodes of reduced oxygen) can improve autonomic nervous system function (which controls things like blood pressure and heart rate) in people with incomplete spinal cord injuries. It may help reduce symptoms like dizziness or irregular heart rate.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–60 - NCT04936620Recruiting
Surgery for severe neck spinal cord injury with uncontrolled swelling
This trial studies a specific surgical technique (called duroplasty) for people with a severe neck spinal cord injury who have dangerous swelling that is not controlled. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes after emergency surgery done soon after the injury.
InnsbruckAges 16 years+ - NCT03965299Recruiting
Gentle nerve stimulation for new spinal cord injury recovery
This study tests whether stimulation through the skin of the tibial nerve can help people with a new spinal cord injury. It may help improve bladder-related symptoms or nerve signaling after injury, compared with standard care.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT04032990Enrolling by invitation
Testing a skin-based nerve stimulation for kids’ arm function
This trial studies whether a painless, skin-based treatment (stimulation over the spine) is safe and feasible to improve arm and hand function in children with a spinal cord injury. It’s mainly designed to see if the approach can be done safely and whether it may help upper-limb skills.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 4–18 - NCT07171489Recruiting
Wearable device for bowel control after spinal cord injury
This trial tests a wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to help manage bowel function in people with spinal cord injury. It aims to improve control and quality of life.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04967274Recruiting
Study testing how the spinal cord controls movement after injury
This trial studies how nerve pathways in the spinal cord help control movements in people with spinal cord injury. It may help researchers better understand movement control and could lead to improved rehab strategies.
ZurichAges 18–80 - NCT05553353Recruiting
Repeated brain stimulation for depression after spinal cord injury
This study tests a non-drug treatment called repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to reduce depression symptoms in people with depression after a spinal cord injury. You might be eligible if you have ongoing major depression and can safely receive magnetic pulses to the head.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–60 - NCT04263285Recruiting
Repetitive brain stimulation for depression after spinal cord injury
This trial studies a brain-stimulation treatment to improve depression symptoms in people who have depression after a spinal cord injury. It may help if you have major depression and meet specific safety and eligibility checks.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–70 - NCT06630702Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for freezing gait in advanced Parkinson's
This trial tests if a small device placed near your spine (spinal cord stimulation) can help improve freezing of gait in people with advanced Parkinson's whose medicines aren't enough. It also aims to reduce leg pain if you have it.
Hsinchu, Hsinchu CityAges 40–85 - NCT07709754Recruiting
Lung stimulation for hard-to-control asthma
This trial tests a device that stimulates the lung to help people whose asthma is not controlled by standard treatments. It may offer a new option for those who still have symptoms despite using inhalers or biologic medicines.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–75 - NCT03715517Recruiting
Spinal anesthesia to improve recovery after liver surgery
This trial studies whether using spinal/epidural anesthesia during liver tumor removal surgery can help people recover better and with less pain. It compares this approach to standard general anesthesia care to see if recovery is smoother.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for spinal cord injury thoracic?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 36 recruiting spinal cord injury thoracic 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 injury thoracic 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 injury thoracic 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.
