Recruiting studies
- NCT07784088Recruiting
Wireless brain implant for tetraplegia
This trial tests a new implantable brain-computer interface designed to help people with tetraplegia (paralysis of arms and legs) control devices using their thoughts. It may help improve independence and quality of life.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT05163639RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Noninvasive brain and spinal training for spinal cord injury
This early study tests a noninvasive way of training the nervous system to see how it affects “associative plasticity,” or the brain/spinal cord’s ability to change with practice. It may help researchers learn strategies that could improve function for people with spinal cord injury.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT05423600Recruiting
Telehealth spinal stimulation plus exercise for high-level incomplete SCI
This study tests whether a home, therapist-guided exercise program combined with a spinal stimulation device (with or without limited blood flow) can improve movement and function in people with incomplete tetraplegia. It may help your muscles respond better, but participation depends on safety checks and your ability to do exercises by video.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–70 - NCT06295146Recruiting
Getting help from a peer coach to learn wheelchair skills
This study tests whether virtual one-on-one training with a peer who has a spinal cord injury can help you learn new wheelchair skills. You'll practice using video calls, and you need a helper nearby to keep you safe during practice.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06429735Recruiting
Robot-implanted brain-computer interface for severe paralysis
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device that lets you control a computer with your thoughts) that is implanted by a robot. It is for people with severe paralysis who may benefit from a new way to communicate or control devices.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 22–75 - NCT06541041Recruiting
Nerve transfer with electrical stimulation for hand function after spinal injury
This trial tests a surgery that moves nerves (nerve transfers) plus gentle electrical stimulation to help people with spinal cord injury regain hand movement. It may be a good fit if you have a C6 or C7 injury and haven't had hand surgery before.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07521930Recruiting
Brain implant to restore communication and movement control
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain device designed to help people with severe paralysis or movement disorders regain the ability to communicate and control their limbs. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into commands that could help you interact with computers or assistive technology.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06700304Recruiting
Brain implant to help control devices with thoughts
This clinical trial tests a brain-computer interface (a small device implanted in the brain) that may help people with severe paralysis control external devices like a computer or tablet using only their thoughts. The study is for adults with paralysis from a spinal cord injury or ALS, and requires a stable caregiver.
Toronto, OntarioAges 19 years+ - NCT06701422Recruiting
Neck Spinal Cord Stimulation for Recovery After Surgery
This study tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord in the neck can help you recover function after cervical spine surgery. It is for people who need neck surgery and do not already have a stimulator device in their neck or chest.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06989905RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a brain stimulation method for spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a brain stimulation technique can improve arm and hand function in people with spinal cord injury at or above C6. It may help strengthen signals from the brain to the wrist muscles.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06992596Recruiting
Brain implant study for controlling devices with thoughts
This trial tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices using your thoughts. It's for people with limited arm function due to spinal cord injury, stroke, ALS, or similar conditions.
Abu DhabiAges 18 years+ - NCT07127172Recruiting
Brain implant study for controlling devices with your mind
This study tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices like a computer or tablet just by thinking. It is for people with paralysis or severe weakness in both arms due to conditions like spinal cord injury, ALS, or stroke.
London, Greater LondonAges 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 - 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 - NCT06710626Enrolling by invitation
Using brain implants to control assistive devices
This trial looks at how well people who already have a Neuralink N1 brain implant can use it to control assistive devices like computers or wheelchairs. It's only for people already in the PRIME Study who meet certain safety and performance checks.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT06247904Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for arm paralysis after spinal cord injury
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation method (NIBS) to help people with recent spinal cord injuries regain arm and hand function. It is designed for patients who have some paralysis in their arms but still have some movement or sensation below their injury level.
Elkins Park, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for tetraplegia/tetraparesis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 16 recruiting tetraplegia/tetraparesis 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 tetraplegia/tetraparesis 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 tetraplegia/tetraparesis 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.
