Below are recruiting tetraplegia clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 33 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT05553457Recruiting
Active hand brace study for C6–C7 spinal cord injury
This trial tests an active hand brace designed to help people with C6–C7 spinal cord injury improve hand and finger movement. It may help with daily hand use by training and supporting weaker motor control after injury.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05157282Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation to improve hand function after tetraplegia
This trial tests whether a special device that stimulates the spinal cord can help people with long-lasting neck spinal cord injuries recover useful hand movement and grip strength. It may help your nervous system communicate better so daily hand tasks become easier.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT03898804Recruiting
ReHAB brain-computer training for people with arm paralysis
This trial tests whether the ReHAB system can be safely used to help people with “tetraplegia” (arm and hand weakness from spinal cord injury or stroke) control tasks using brain signals. Because it’s an early feasibility study, the main goal is to see if the approach works well enough and is practical to do long-term.
Cleveland, OhioAges 22–65 - NCT03680872Recruiting
Brain-to-nerve study to improve hand movement after spinal injury
This trial tests a “neural bypass” approach to help restore hand movement and feeling in people with tetraplegia from a spinal cord injury. You would have repeated visits for brain/nerve testing and may receive study procedures to see if function improves.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 22–65 - NCT03567213Recruiting
CortiCom brain signal system for communication in severe paralysis
This trial tests a system that records brain signals to help people with severe paralysis and little or no speech communicate. It involves a surgical implant and frequent study visits to see if the system can work safely and reliably for communication.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 22–70 - NCT03161067Recruiting
Brain-based device trial for people with C4-C6 spinal injury
This trial tests a “brain-to-spinal” and “spinal-to-brain” device to improve control and signals after a spinal cord injury at the C4–C6 level. It involves an implanted recording system and monitoring sessions to see if the system works and is safe.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 22–65 - 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 - 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

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for tetraplegia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 33 recruiting tetraplegia 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 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 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.
