Study of brain and nerve activity after high neck injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 22 to 65
- You have a high cervical (high neck) spinal lesion/injury
- You can give consent, speak and communicate in English, and follow study instructions
- A doctor says you are cleared for surgery and you can travel up to 60 miles up to five days per week
- You will have a caregiver who can check the surgical site daily and watch for behavior changes

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
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 surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) system designed to help people with severe spinal cord injuries regain some ability to move or control devices using their thoughts. The device reads signals directly from the brain to bypass the injured spinal cord.
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.
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.
