Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06480786Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulator for diabetic nerve and artery pain
This study tests if a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can relieve severe leg pain caused by diabetic nerve damage and poor blood flow. It may help people who have not found enough relief from other treatments.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19–89 - NCT07692191Recruiting
Spinal stimulation to help exercise after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a non-invasive device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can improve your ability to exercise. It is for people who have had a spinal cord injury for at least a year and are medically stable.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18–70 - NCT06494020Recruiting
Hand task practice with spinal cord stimulation
This study tests whether practicing hand and arm tasks while using spinal cord stimulation can improve movement and function for people with chronic cervical spinal cord injury.
Miami, FloridaAges 22–70 - 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 - NCT06515223Recruiting
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+ - NCT06515132Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for consciousness after brain injury
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 - 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.
