ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT05492188Recruiting
Testing training and skin reflex changes for nerve pain after SCI
This study looks at how a training program affects skin reflexes and nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). It may help researchers find better ways to manage nerve pain by changing how the body responds to touch and training.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05758844Recruiting
Testing a safer backup method during endovascular aneurysm repair
This trial studies whether adding an extra “safe-line” step during endovascular repair of large aortic aneurysms can reduce damage to the spinal cord. It may help lower the risk of spinal cord-related complications during or after the procedure.
PadovaAges 18–100 - NCT05922644Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for consciousness recovery after brain bleed
This trial studies whether short-term spinal cord stimulation can help people regain consciousness after an intracerebral hemorrhage (brain bleed). It’s mainly for patients whose brain function tests suggest they are in a minimally conscious state and who are medically stable enough for the procedure.

This trial tests a walking device called an exoskeleton to help people with leg weakness or movement problems. It's designed to see if using the exoskeleton regularly over time can help improve walking or mobility.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT04276181Recruiting
Nerve and tendon transfer surgery for hand function after spinal cord injury
This trial studies a specialized surgery that reroutes nerves and tendons to help restore hand and grip function after a spinal cord injury. It may help some people regain more useful hand movement if their arm muscle strength and nerve signals are strong enough.
MölndalAges 15–55 - NCT06443151Recruiting
Blood Vessel Health After Spinal Cord Injury
This study looks at how blood vessel health is affected in people with long-term spinal cord injury (over 1 year). It tests whether blood vessel function plays a role in heart and circulatory risk.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18–89 - NCT07768761Recruiting
Electrical stimulation exercise for lower limb paralysis
This trial tests whether a muscle exercise program using electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis in their legs. It may improve muscle strength, blood flow, or other health benefits.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07750808Recruiting
Walking rehabilitation with a robotic exoskeleton
This study tests a wearable robotic leg brace that helps people with leg weakness practice walking. It aims to see if using the robot improves strength and movement for people recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint replacement surgery.
DhakaAges 18–60 - NCT07745712Recruiting
Testing a robotic exoskeleton for children with walking difficulties
This trial tests a robotic exoskeleton called ABLE Kids to help children with walking difficulties due to neurological or muscle conditions. It checks if the device is safe and works well. Children who meet certain size and health requirements may be eligible to participate.
Girona, GironaAges Up to 17 years - NCT07749625Recruiting
Robotic arm training for recovery after stroke or injury
This study tests whether a robotic arm trainer can help improve arm movement and function in people with conditions like stroke, spinal cord injury, or brain injury. It may help you regain strength and control in your arm.
DhakaAges 18–60 - NCT07749612Recruiting
Robotic arm trainer for stroke and brain injury recovery
This trial tests a robotic device that helps people move their arms and hands during rehabilitation after a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. The goal is to improve arm function and make daily tasks easier.
DhakaAges 18–60 - NCT07738978Recruiting
Movement and health study for paralysis
This study is looking at ways to improve movement and health for people with paralysis from conditions like spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis. It involves exercises and may include electrical stimulation to help your leg and trunk muscles work better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07739264Recruiting
Robotic hand training for arm weakness
This study tests a robotic hand training system called ZEPU-SG1PLUS to help improve arm and hand function in people with various conditions like stroke or injury. It aims to see if this device can help you move better and do daily activities more easily.
DhakaAges 18–60 - NCT06596187Recruiting
Study of muscle tightness in spinal cord injury and Parkinson's
This study looks at muscle tightness (hypertonia) in people with spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, and healthy volunteers. It aims to better understand and measure different types of stiffness to improve treatments.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - 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 - NCT06644807Recruiting
Neuromodulation for phantom limb pain after amputation
This trial tests a new approach to suppress phantom limb pain using neuromodulation methods. It may help people who have had a limb amputated and continue to experience persistent pain.
Moscow, MoscowAges 18–65 - NCT07705906Recruiting
Robot-assisted leg training for mobility recovery
This trial tests a robot device to help people with leg weakness from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint surgery improve their walking. It may be a good option if you are medically stable and can work with the robot safely.
Dhaka, Dhaka DivisionAges 18–70 - NCT07705256Recruiting
Virtual-reality training using muscle signals for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests a virtual-reality training system that uses muscle signals to help people regain arm movement after a recent stroke. It may be an option if you had a stroke within the last 2 weeks and have arm weakness.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for spinal cord?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 463 recruiting spinal cord 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 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 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.
