MRI study of brain and spinal cord changes after injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to look at brain and body changes after a spinal cord injury. It may help researchers understand how the nervous system recovers over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- If you have an injury: it must be a spinal cord injury (incomplete or complete) affecting the arms/legs (para- or tetraplegia)
- Your injury must be from very recent up to chronic: less than 4 weeks after injury to more than 6 months after injury
- You (or your guardian) must be able to sign informed consent
- You must be able to safely get an MRI (no MRI contraindications) and not have severe claustrophobia

This study uses brain and spine scans (and possibly nerve stimulation in some cases) to understand how the nervous system changes after spinal cord injury or certain spinal conditions. It may help researchers better track recovery and understand which changes are linked to symptoms like bladder problems.
This study tests new MRI scan settings to see inflammatory changes in the spinal cord more clearly. It may help doctors choose better MRI images when first checking—or re-checking—spinal inflammation.
This study looks at people after a recent, serious injury—especially a new spinal cord injury—to see how research and clinical knowledge can be improved. Depending on your group (spinal cord injury, other trauma, or healthy), you may be invited to participate if you meet age and injury timing needs.
This study tests a rehabilitation program using magnetic or electrical stimulation to help improve movement and function after a spinal cord injury. It may help you regain strength and independence.
This study looks at blood tests after a spinal cord injury to find markers that may predict recovery. The results could help doctors plan better treatment for future patients.
This study uses artificial intelligence and MRI scans to predict outcomes in people with a traumatic cervical spinal cord injury. The AI model combines imaging data with genetic information to help doctors make better treatment decisions.
