Check how well an MRI test shows spinal tumor surgery challenges
This study looks at an MRI-type scan (called MRE) to measure stiffness and “adhesion” around spinal cord tumor surgery. It may help doctors plan surgery better by predicting what the tumor area will feel like and how it may stick to nearby tissues.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT06042946Recruiting
Surgery for spinal cord tumors that spread from other cancers
This trial is for adults who have a specific type of spinal cord tumor that has spread from another cancer. It looks at how well a surgery called microsurgical resection works to remove the tumor and what happens to patients before and after the procedure.
Sankt GallenAges 18 years+ - NCT06104735Recruiting
Hand training with brain and spinal cord stimulation after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether combining hand exercises with stimulation of the brain and spinal cord can improve hand function after a spinal cord injury. You would attend about 53 study visits at the Bronx VA Medical Center.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–85 - 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+ - NCT06700304Recruiting
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.
Toronto, OntarioAges 19 years+ - NCT06939660Recruiting
Brain-spinal cord stimulation for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests if combining brain-computer interface technology with spinal cord stimulation can help improve walking in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It aims to see if this approach works when standard rehab has stopped helping.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 14–65 - NCT07066475Recruiting
Spinal cord glioma surgery results study
This study is collecting information from patients with spinal cord glioma who are having surgery through a specific surgical approach (dorsolateral sulcus). It aims to learn how well the surgery works and what the recovery looks like over time.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 3–75 - NCT07127172Recruiting
Brain implant study for controlling devices with your mind
This study tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices like a computer or tablet just by thinking. It is for people with paralysis or severe weakness in both arms due to conditions like spinal cord injury, ALS, or stroke.
London, Greater LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07234903Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation therapy for walking recovery
This trial tests if an electrical stimulation device placed in the spine can help people with spinal cord injury improve their ability to walk. It is for adults who had a traumatic injury either very recently (within 6 weeks) or more than a year ago.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18–65 - NCT07502612Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation medication tapering study
This study tests whether lowering pain medication can improve how well spinal cord stimulation works. It is for people who already take certain pain medicines and are scheduled to try a spinal cord stimulator.
WilrijkAges 18 years+ - NCT06464744Recruiting
Can brain stimulation help after spinal cord injury?
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, can improve movement and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help if you have some movement left below your injury level.
OsloAges 18–80 - 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.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18–65 - NCT06978205Recruiting
Balloon dilation for urine retention after spinal cord injury
This trial tests if a balloon dilation procedure in the urethra can help people with spinal cord injury empty their bladder naturally. It looks at whether the treatment reduces the need for catheters.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT01571531Recruiting
Study after spinal cord injury within six weeks
This study is for people who have had a sudden spinal cord injury from trauma or a sudden lack of blood flow (ischemia) and can be assessed within six weeks. It aims to better understand spinal cord injury and may help guide future care.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - 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.
