5HTP trial for long-term spinal cord injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether 5HTP can help people with spinal cord injury caused by trauma at least 6 months ago. It is mainly designed to see if the treatment is safe and helpful over the study period.

This trial studies whether a painless, skin-based treatment (stimulation over the spine) is safe and feasible to improve arm and hand function in children with a spinal cord injury. It’s mainly designed to see if the approach can be done safely and whether it may help upper-limb skills.
This trial tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with arm and hand exercises can improve strength and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more control in your daily activities.
This trial tests a treatment to help people with chronic spinal cord injury improve arm and hand function. It combines two therapies to see if they work better together.
This trial studies a combination of treatments to help people with certain types of spinal cord injury regain some movement and feeling over time. If you meet the specific injury and health criteria, you may be asked to do simple walking and assessment tests during treatment.
This trial studies whether starting gabapentin within 5 days after a traumatic spinal cord injury is safe and helpful for early recovery. It will mainly look at feasibility—whether patients can take the medicine and whether it affects early neurologic progress.
This trial tests a treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the upper spine to help improve arm and hand function after a recent spinal cord injury. It is for people who are in the hospital and have injury levels between C1 and C8.
