Hong KongAges 18–70 - NCT07210411Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation after spinal cord injury
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects the body over time after a spinal cord injury. It may help understand if this treatment can improve nerve function and overall health.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–50 - 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 - NCT07269977Recruiting
Mobile health app for veterans with spinal cord injury
This study tests a mobile health app designed to help veterans with spinal cord injury and their family caregivers. The app may provide support and resources to improve health and well-being.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07289191Recruiting
Spinal current stimulation for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation on the back can help improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It uses a device that sends small currents through the skin to the spinal cord.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18–75 - NCT07306052Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation to help walk again after injury
This trial tests whether placing a small device on the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain the ability to walk. It is designed for those who have had a traumatic injury and still have some movement in their upper body.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 16–70 - NCT06841198Recruiting
Heart and blood vessel health after spinal cord injury
This study looks at how the heart and blood vessels change in the first year after a spinal cord injury. It also tests if electrical stimulation can help improve low blood pressure, which is common after injury.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT02329652Recruiting
Bionic stimulation to help arm and trunk movement after spinal injury
This study tests a neuroprosthetic system that uses controlled stimulation to help restore movement in the arm and trunk after a spinal cord injury. If you qualify, it may help you regain practical strength and control for everyday tasks.
Cleveland, OhioAges 17 years+ - NCT03320759Recruiting
Improving recovery after non-traumatic spinal cord injury
This study looks at ways to help people recover after spinal cord injury that was not caused by trauma. It may help by testing an approach that is guided by regular MRI scans and repeat therapy visits.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03225625Enrolling by invitation
Stem cell, virtual reality, and training after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether stem cell treatment along with virtual reality–based training can improve function after spinal cord injury that is not expected to recover with standard care. It’s designed for adults who are medically stable and can safely complete follow-up assessments.
Coral Springs, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07472985Recruiting
Early cycling exercise after spinal cord injury
This trial tests if starting leg cycling exercise within the first week after spinal cord injury is safe and helpful. It is for adults who had surgery within 48 hours of their injury and have a specific level of paralysis.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07504055Recruiting
Non-invasive spinal cord stimulation for blood pressure after injury
This study tests whether a non-invasive spinal cord stimulation device can help regulate blood pressure in people with spinal cord injury who have low blood pressure symptoms. It may help you feel less dizzy or faint when you sit or stand up.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT07541612Recruiting
Monitoring Spinal Cord Blood Flow During Aortic Surgery
This study tests a non-invasive monitoring device (NIRS) that tracks blood flow to the spinal cord during planned aortic surgery. The goal is to better understand and prevent spinal cord damage that can cause paralysis after major aortic procedures.

Galantamine for Metabolic Syndrome in Spinal Cord Injury
This study tests whether a medication called galantamine can help improve metabolic syndrome (a cluster of health conditions including obesity, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol) in people with chronic spinal cord injury. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce health risks and improve overall wellness.

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.
