Visuomotor prosthetic for people with paralysis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a prosthetic device that helps with movement by using brain-and-hand body signals to guide action. You may be able to join if you have paralysis from an injury or illness and can safely have surgery and frequent study visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have paralysis caused by an injury or condition (the trial calls this the underlying pathology).
- You are between 22 and 65 years old and can give informed consent.
- You can follow instructions and communicate using speech (a translator is allowed if needed).
- You are medically cleared for surgery and expected to live more than 12 months.
- You can travel to the study site within 60 miles and have a caregiver to check the surgical area.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the brain and nerves change their activity after a high neck (cervical) spinal injury. You may be asked to have imaging—likely an MRI—and to follow daily checks by a caregiver during the study.
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.
This study tests a wireless brain-computer implant that may help people with severe paralysis or limb loss regain some arm and hand movement. The implant is placed in the brain to pick up signals and send them to a computer or device.
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.
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.
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.
