Personalized spinal stimulation for arm function after spinal injury
This study tests a personalized electrical stimulation treatment placed near the spine to see if it can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. If you have a stable injury above the mid-back and have not had new nerve problems in the last 6 months, you may be able to join.
Hualien CityAges 18–70 - NCT07699094Recruiting
Predicting blood pressure changes in spinal cord injury

The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT07674927Recruiting
Rhythmic music to improve walking after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether listening to rhythmic music can help people with spinal cord injury walk more smoothly. You will walk while wearing special headphones that play music timed to your steps.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07655531Recruiting
Yogic breathing and meditation for spinal cord conditions
This study tests whether a simple yogic breathing and meditation program, done over video calls, can help people with spinal cord conditions feel better and manage symptoms. You can join from home with just an internet connection.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–89 - NCT07640711Recruiting
Brain-Computer Interface for High Spinal Cord Injury
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) system designed to help people with severe spinal cord injuries regain some ability to move or control devices using their thoughts. The device reads signals directly from the brain to bypass the injured spinal cord.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18–70 - NCT07578532Recruiting
Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder After Spinal Cord Injury
This trial tests two non-surgical treatments—magnetic and electrical nerve stimulation applied to the skin over the sacrum (base of spine)—to help control bladder overactivity in people with spinal cord injury. The goal is to reduce involuntary bladder contractions and improve bladder control.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07553923Recruiting
High-intensity walking rehabilitation for spinal cord injury
This study tests whether intensive walking training helps people with incomplete spinal cord injuries regain walking ability. You would work with physical therapists on challenging walking exercises to improve strength and independence.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07519928Recruiting
Pelvic Floor Muscle Training for Spinal Cord Injury Patients
This study tests whether pelvic floor muscle exercises—done while you're in inpatient rehabilitation—can help improve bladder control and urinary function after spinal cord injury. The goal is to see if this type of training is practical and helpful during your hospital stay.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06761300Recruiting
Psychology and spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain
This trial studies how psychological assessment can help people with long-term pain who are getting Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)—a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals. You may join if you've had chronic pain for at least 6 months, are eligible for SCS, and speak Italian.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07511244Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for bladder and bowel control after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation can help improve bladder and bowel function in people who have had a spinal cord injury for more than 6 months. The goal is to see if this treatment can restore more control and quality of life.
BeijingAges 18–60 - NCT07501429RecruitingPhase 1
Shockwave therapy for arm spasticity after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether shockwave therapy can reduce muscle tightness in the elbow and wrist caused by spinal cord injury. It may help make daily tasks like dressing or bathing easier.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07473258Enrolling by invitation
Health online for people with spinal cord injury
This trial tests a 10-week online health program designed for people who have lived with a spinal cord injury (SCI) for many years. The program uses weekly video group sessions to help you improve your well-being and manage aging with your condition.
StockholmAges 18–65 - NCT07397559Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for spinal cord injury recovery

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.
