ReHAB brain-computer training for people with arm paralysis
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether the ReHAB system can be safely used to help people with “tetraplegia” (arm and hand weakness from spinal cord injury or stroke) control tasks using brain signals. Because it’s an early feasibility study, the main goal is to see if the approach works well enough and is practical to do long-term.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 22 and 65 years old
- You have tetraplegia from a stable spinal cord injury or stroke, and it started at least 12 months ago
- Your weakness has been stable for at least 3 months, and your brain/body are able to do the control tasks for about a year
- You can clearly communicate (speaking is OK) or you can reliably answer yes/no another way
- You can travel to the study site and likely stay nearby for at least 13 months
- Your scalp skin must be healthy enough for surgery, with no lesions or breakdown

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 brain-controlled spinal stimulation approach to improve arm (upper limb) movement after a neck spinal cord injury. It may help people who have very limited arm function after a stable, traumatic injury, using frequent training and device-related checks.
This study tests a brain-machine interface that records brain activity and uses stimulation to help people with severe hand/arm movement loss communicate or control tasks using a computer. It may help restore some control and reduce dependence on hands that cannot be used normally.
This study is for people who have already received the ReHAB system in a previous trial. It aims to find the best ways to use sensory feedback from the device to help with hand and arm function after tetraplegia.
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface (BCI) that reads your brain signals can help a robot move your weak arm, potentially improving your arm function. It is for people who have had a stroke and have severe arm weakness.
This trial tests a fully implanted wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) to help people with paralysis from a neck-level spinal cord injury regain hand and arm movement. The BCI reads brain signals and sends them to your arm, bypassing the damaged spinal cord.
