Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 22–70 - NCT07204184Recruiting
Spinal stimulation to improve recovery after spinal cord injury
This study tests a gentle electrical stimulation on the spine to help improve movement and recovery after a spinal cord injury. It uses a special therapy called transspinal stimulation while you walk in a robotic device.
Staten Island, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT07227740Recruiting
Testosterone treatment for blood vessel health after spinal cord injury
This study looks at whether low testosterone affects blood vessel health in men with recent spinal cord injury. It tests if testosterone replacement can help improve blood vessel function.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18–89 - NCT07264868Recruiting
Home nerve stimulator for bladder control after spinal cord injury
This study tests a portable nerve stimulator you can use at home to help control bladder function after a spinal cord injury. The device sends gentle pulses to a nerve in your ankle to improve bladder symptoms like urgency or leakage.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT07343583Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for bladder control after spinal cord injury
This study tests if stimulating nerves in the lower back or ankle can help improve bladder function in people who have a recent spinal cord injury above the T11 vertebra (mid-back). It aims to find a new way to manage bladder problems without medication.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–65 - NCT07368244Recruiting
Making a spinal cord injury questionnaire work for Turkish patients
This study translates a questionnaire about environmental factors that affect people with spinal cord injuries (SCI). They need volunteers to help make sure the questions are clear and relevant for Turkish speakers.
IstanbulAges 16 years+ - NCT07384052RecruitingPhase 1
Nasal insulin for people with spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether insulin given as a nasal spray is safe and possible for people with spinal cord injury. If it works, it might help with nerve recovery or other health issues.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 18–84 - NCT07386522Recruiting
Text-based health support for spinal cord injury
This trial uses text messages to provide health information and support for people with spinal cord injury. It aims to help you manage everyday problems like pain, pressure sores, bladder issues, or emotional distress.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07397559Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for spinal cord injury recovery
This trial tests a spinal cord stimulation device to help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain leg movement. It aims to improve muscle control and function.
St Louis, MissouriAges 16–65 - NCT01571531Recruiting
Study after spinal cord injury within six weeks
This study is for people who have had a sudden spinal cord injury from trauma or a sudden lack of blood flow (ischemia) and can be assessed within six weeks. It aims to better understand spinal cord injury and may help guide future care.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT02991690Recruiting
Cooling treatment for acute neck spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether lowering your body temperature soon after a neck spinal cord injury can improve recovery. It is meant for certain types of spinal cord damage and looks at patients who can safely start cooling within 24 hours.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–70 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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.

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.
