Recruiting studies
- NCT05744310Recruiting
Long-term ventilation support and quality of life in ALS

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 - NCT05777889Recruiting
Infrared imaging for nerve-stimulation pain in one leg
This study uses infrared images to help evaluate spinal cord stimulation for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) when it affects one leg. It aims to see whether the imaging approach matches pain and treatment needs in people whose pain hasn’t improved with standard care.
New York, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT05811312Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation and brain changes in chronic pain
This study uses non-invasive brain monitoring to see how spinal cord stimulation may change brain activity in people with chronic nerve pain. It aims to better understand how treatment affects the brain and pain over time.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05885061Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation study for adults with chronic pain
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects chronic pain in adults who already have the device implanted. It may help researchers understand who benefits most and how stable pain and treatments need to be to measure results.
AarhusAges 18–99 - NCT05903859RecruitingPhase 3
Study to improve fertility in men after spinal cord injury
This phase 3 study tests a treatment to improve reproductive function (fertility-related measures) in men who have had a traumatic spinal cord injury. If you may be eligible, it could help researchers see whether the treatment improves reproductive outcomes for men with spinal cord injury.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05906056Recruiting
CPM therapy vs bone overgrowth in hip or knee
This study compares continuous passive motion (a machine that gently moves a joint without you moving it) versus the body’s tendency to form extra bone called heterotopic ossification. It aims to see whether CPM can affect how and how much bone overgrowth develops after neurologic injuries like stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury.
Ioannina, EpirusAges 15–70 - 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.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT05926596Recruiting
Leg stretching with an on-demand exoskeleton for spasticity
This trial studies whether a wearable exoskeleton that helps with leg stretching can reduce stiffness and improve movement in people with spasticity after a spinal cord injury. It may help you stretch more safely and comfortably, but you must meet specific health and device-wear requirements.
Syracuse, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05928052Recruiting
Spinal stimulation to help ARDS patients get off the ventilator
This study tests whether stimulating nerves in the spine can help people with severe lung injury (ARDS) breathe without a ventilator sooner. It may help shorten the time you need a breathing machine in the ICU.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06011876Recruiting
BioFLO breathing training for spinal cord injury
This study is testing a special breathing training device (called BioFLO) for people with chronic spinal cord injury to see if it can strengthen their breathing muscles and improve their respiratory recovery.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT06065384Recruiting
Arm training for recovery after recent spinal cord injury
This trial tests a type of arm and hand exercise training to see if it helps the brain and nerves recover after a recent spinal cord injury in the neck. It may help people who have some movement left in their arms or hands.
AntwerpAges 16–90 - NCT06094205Recruiting
BrainGate2 speech study for people with tetraplegia
This study tests a brain-computer interface to help people with severe paralysis communicate by decoding attempted speech or movements. It may offer a new way to interact with devices using only brain signals.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06130449RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testosterone and brain function in men with spinal cord injury
This study tests whether testosterone can help brain function in men with spinal cord injury and low testosterone. If you qualify, you would receive testosterone treatment and have your brain activity measured over about a month.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT06246526Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulator for chronic pain study
This study tests a new type of spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to your spine to block pain signals) for people with chronic pain in their back, chest, or arms or legs. The goal is to see how well it works in real-life settings.
Charleston, West VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06281223Recruiting
Brain and spinal cord connection study in spasticity
This study looks at how the brain and spinal cord connect in children with spasticity (muscle stiffness). It will help doctors understand more about this condition by studying patients who are already scheduled for surgery to reduce stiffness.
NiceAges 3–17 - NCT06288763Recruiting
Nerve transfer to improve arm function in high-level tetraplegia
This study tests whether transferring a nerve from a working muscle can help restore function in the arm or hand for people with high-level tetraplegia. It may be an option if you've stopped improving with standard therapy.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT07696286Recruiting
Alexithymia in chronic pain patients with a spinal cord stimulator
This study looks at a condition called alexithymia (difficulty identifying and describing emotions) in people who have chronic pain and a spinal cord stimulator. It aims to help doctors better understand how emotions affect pain treatment.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06349434Recruiting
Powered arm brace for spinal cord injury recovery
This trial tests whether a powered wearable device (Myo-Pro) can help people with spinal cord injury improve arm and hand function for daily activities. It is designed for those who already have some arm movement and want to regain more independence.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–80 - NCT06429735Recruiting
Robot-implanted brain-computer interface for severe paralysis
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device that lets you control a computer with your thoughts) that is implanted by a robot. It is for people with severe paralysis who may benefit from a new way to communicate or control devices.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 22–75 - 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 - NCT06493071Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for depression after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether gentle nerve stimulation on your ear can reduce both inflammation and depression after a spinal cord injury. It might help people with mild to moderate depression who are already on a stable depression medicine.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for spinal cord?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 479 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.
