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
Upper arm transplant study using immune treatment
This trial tests replacing a missing or non-working lower arm/hand with a donated upper limb (transplant). It also uses a special immune treatment plan and bone marrow infusion to help the body accept the new limb, aiming to improve hand function and quality of life.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–69 - NCT07090473Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for recent spinal cord injury recovery
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation (called TENS) can help recovery after a recent spinal cord injury. It is for people who are already in the ICU with a drain in their lower back and had a blunt injury within the past 12 hours.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06451133Recruiting
Blood pressure management after traumatic spinal cord injury
This study tests a way to manage blood pressure after a traumatic spinal cord injury. It aims to improve blood flow to the injured area and help recovery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04696523RecruitingPhase 2
Xenon gas for brain injury after a ruptured brain aneurysm
