Breathing training for spinal cord injury patients
This study tests a new breathing exercise method combined with a gentle brain stimulation technique to help people with spinal cord injury improve their breathing and lung function. It may be an option if your injury is recent and at or above the mid-back level.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT07164846Recruiting
FES suit for recovery after injury or amputation
This trial tests a special suit that uses mild electrical stimulation to help improve muscle strength, walking, and body functions. It may help people who are at least one week past an amputation or a nervous system injury like stroke or spinal cord injury.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07210437Recruiting

New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07224256Recruiting
Brain implant trial to help with communication after injury or disease
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) that is implanted by a robot. It is designed to help people who have lost the ability to speak clearly or use their hands well, due to conditions like ALS, stroke, or spinal cord injury.
Dallas, TexasAges 22–75 - NCT07227727Recruiting
Blood vessel health after spinal cord injury
This study looks at how spinal cord injury affects the health of your blood vessels. It compares people with paraplegia to those without an injury to understand the differences.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07237386Recruiting
Testing a smart insole for walking in people with brain or spinal cord injury
This study tests a special insole that measures how you walk, compared with a high-tech walking lab. It's for people with stroke, spinal cord injury, or brain injury who can walk on their own for 6 minutes.
GhentAges Any age - NCT07280923Recruiting
Wheelchair use and neurologic disorder study
This study aims to see if a new survey, the PReFS, is accurate and reliable for people who use wheelchairs because of a neurologic condition. If you qualify, you may help improve how doctors measure your health.
Waco, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07293780Recruiting
TMS for nerve pain after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation, can help relieve nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. It is for those who have had chronic nerve pain for at least 6 months that hasn't improved with standard treatments.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 18–65 - NCT07303582RecruitingPhase 4
Freezing nerves to ease pain from muscle tightness
This study tests if freezing specific nerves (cryoneurolysis) can reduce pain caused by muscle tightness (spasticity) after a brain or spinal cord injury, or from multiple sclerosis. It is for people who already get Botox injections for this pain.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT07304401Recruiting
Closed-loop spinal cord stimulation for chemo-related nerve pain
This trial tests whether a new type of spinal cord stimulator (SCS) can reduce pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have lasting nerve pain after cancer treatment and standard pain medications haven't helped, this device might offer relief.
ArnhemAges 18 years+ - NCT07308808RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Safety of a live bacteria solution for bladder infections
This trial tests if putting a live bacteria called Lactobacillus crispatus into the bladder is safe for people with spinal cord injury and neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. It may help prevent urinary tract infections without antibiotics.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07357428Recruiting
Brain-computer implant study for severe paralysis or speech loss
This study tests a brain-computer implant that might help people with severe paralysis or speech loss control a computer with their thoughts. It is for people who have trouble moving and speaking due to a progressive disease or injury.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 22–75 - NCT07390591Recruiting
Patient views on bladder treatments for urinary symptoms
This study asks patients and caregivers about their experiences with bladder washes (instillations) using lactobacillus or gentamicin to manage urinary symptoms. Your feedback could help improve care for others like you.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT01467869Recruiting
Male fertility study for men with spinal cord injury
This study looks at fertility (the ability to father a child) in men who have a spinal cord injury. It compares them with healthy men to understand how spinal cord injury may affect fertility.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–50 - NCT00912041Recruiting
Test of a brain-to-computer device for quadriplegia
This study tests whether a tiny brain computer interface can help people with quadriplegia (loss of movement in all four limbs) communicate or control technology. It’s mainly a feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the device can work safely and reliably in real life.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT00623389Recruiting
Testing a leg neuroprosthesis for walking and leg control
This trial tests an advanced device that helps control and use your legs and trunk muscles for movement. It may help people with certain types of paralysis or weakness to improve function, while closely monitoring safety and comfort.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21–75 - NCT01474148Recruiting
Neuroprosthesis to improve sitting posture and balance
This trial tests a special stimulation device (a “neuroprosthesis”) to help people with spinal cord injury improve how they sit upright and maintain balance. If you meet safety and readiness requirements, it may help your trunk and pelvic muscles work more effectively during posture and balance tasks.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT01894802Recruiting
Brain recording and stimulation to help control a computer
This study tests a brain-machine interface that records brain activity and uses stimulation to help people with severe hand/arm movement loss communicate or control tasks using a computer. It may help restore some control and reduce dependence on hands that cannot be used normally.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 22–70 - NCT02331979Recruiting
Neuromodulation trial to improve bladder function after spinal injury
This trial tests a nerve-stimulation approach to improve bladder control in people with spinal cord injury. It specifically targets bladder problems that require clean intermittent catheter use and includes regular testing over 6 months.

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.
