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 - NCT04474106Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for new spinal cord injuries
This study tests whether extracorporeal shock wave therapy (non-surgical shock waves delivered from outside the body) can improve movement and sensation after a recent spinal cord injury. It may help people recover motor (movement) and sensory (feeling) function within months after injury.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18–99 - NCT05343130Recruiting
Brain-controlled electrical therapy for arm mobility after spinal injury
This trial studies a brain-computer system that helps control electrical stimulation to improve arm movement after a spinal cord injury. It may help with functional use of the upper limbs during rehabilitation if you meet the specific injury, spasticity, and safety requirements.
Tlalpan, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT04144972Recruiting
Closed-loop deep brain stimulation for long-lasting nerve pain
This trial tests a “smart” deep brain stimulation device that senses your brain signals and adjusts treatment to reduce severe, long-lasting pain. It may help people whose pain has not improved with multiple pain medicines and surgery cannot fix the cause.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 22–80 - NCT03053791Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation to improve walking after incomplete spinal injury
This study tests whether deep brain stimulation can improve walking in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury. It also requires that you meet specific injury and walking ability requirements and be able to attend study visits and training.
ZurichAges 18–75 - NCT07280351Enrolling by invitation
Duraplasty for acute spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether adding a special patch (duroplasty) during emergency spinal surgery helps people recover from a recent traumatic spinal cord injury. It's for patients who need decompression surgery within 24 hours of injury.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT07465302RecruitingPhase 2
Early high oxygen therapy for spinal cord injury
This study tests giving high levels of oxygen soon after a spinal cord injury to see if it can help recovery. It is for people who are awake but need a breathing tube and have certain types of spinal cord injury in the neck or upper back.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT01459107RecruitingPhase 2
