Study testing how the spinal cord controls movement after injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies how nerve pathways in the spinal cord help control movements in people with spinal cord injury. It may help researchers better understand movement control and could lead to improved rehab strategies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your legal representative) must sign an informed consent form
- You must have a spinal cord injury (not just other nerve or movement problems) and be in the AIS A–D range
- If your injury is in the neck (cervical C4–C7), your ulnar nerves must be working normally on both sides
- If your injury is in the chest (thoracic T4–T12), your tibial and peroneal nerves must be working normally on both sides
- You must not be pregnant or breast feeding
- You cannot have major untreated heart/lung disease, major depression/psychosis, or current fever of unknown cause

This study tests whether spinal cord stimulation combined with training can improve your ability to move your legs and do daily tasks. You may be able to join if you have a traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury (or, in some cases, if you’re a healthy volunteer).
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve movement and muscle control in people with spinal cord injury. If you've had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are between 20-70 years old, this might help improve leg function and walking.
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects the body over time after a spinal cord injury. It may help understand if this treatment can improve nerve function and overall health.
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 study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve bladder, bowel, and other automatic body functions during inpatient rehab after a recent spinal cord injury. It's for people who have a non-worsening injury at or above the T6 level and are within 4 months of their injury.
This trial studies whether a spinal cord stimulation approach plus rehab can improve function and safety in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury who cannot walk. It may help people by supporting rehabilitation over time, but it requires surgery and specific health and imaging conditions.
