Recruiting studies
- NCT03698149Recruiting
Brain-signal training for hand and speech control after disability
This study tests whether recording brain signals can help people regain better control of movements in the arms and help with speech. It may be an option for people with significant disability from certain nerve and brain conditions who can safely take part in brain-monitoring procedures.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–45 - 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 - 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 - NCT05147675RecruitingPhase 1
Testing cord stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis safety
This early study (Phase 1) checks whether an infused stem cell product made from donated umbilical cord tissue is safe in people with osteoarthritis. It’s mainly looking for side effects and whether the treatment can be given safely.

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.
