Study after spinal cord injury within six weeks
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your spinal cord problem happened suddenly as one event (from trauma or sudden lack of blood flow)
- You have a spinal cord injury affecting both arms and legs (tetraplegia) or both legs (paraplegia)
- You can have the first study assessment within 6 weeks of the injury
- You are able and willing to sign written consent (or otherwise participate as required by the study)
- The injury is not from a long-developing or non-injury cause (like tumor, infection, inflammation, or a birth/development issue)

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is looking for people with a spinal cord injury from a blunt force (not a penetrating injury like a gunshot or stab wound) to see if certain substances in the blood (called biomarkers) can help doctors understand the injury better and predict recovery. It involves an initial blood sample within 24 hours of the injury and follow-up assessments.
This study looks at how a recent spinal cord injury (within the past week) affects your senses, movement, behavior, and thinking. Researchers will use MRI scans and neurological exams to learn more about these changes.
This trial collects tissue samples from people with new spinal cord injuries to study recovery. It may help researchers understand how to improve treatment.
This study tests whether a device placed near the spinal cord in your neck (called an epidural stimulator) can help improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. It's designed for people with a long-term, motor-complete injury between the C4 and C7 levels.
This trial is a registry that collects information about people 18 and older who have a first spinal cord injury caused by trauma. By sharing details, you help researchers better understand outcomes and care needs after these injuries.
This study looks for ways to test treatments for people with spinal cord injuries and/or brain injuries. It may help researchers better understand which treatment approaches work and for whom.
