Brain-controlled electrical therapy for arm mobility after spinal injury
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies a brain-computer system that helps control electrical stimulation to improve arm movement after a spinal cord injury. It may help with functional use of the upper limbs during rehabilitation if you meet the specific injury, spasticity, and safety requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal cord injury in the C6 or C7 level of your neck
- Your spinal injury severity is ASIA A, B, C, or D
- You have mild to moderate upper-limb stiffness (spasticity) no worse than +1 on the Modified Ashworth scale
- Your injury happened more than 6 months ago but less than 60 months ago
- Your vision is normal or can be corrected to normal (for example with glasses/contacts)

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 trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps move your arm using electrical stimulation. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have lasting weakness in one arm.
This trial tests a combination of spinal cord stimulation and a brain-computer interface that lets you control a device with your thoughts. It's for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some movement in their wrist or fingers but need help improving arm function.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device implanted in the brain) to help people with tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) regain some motor function. It is for patients who have been stable for at least six months after a brainstem or spinal cord injury.
This trial tests a combination of two noninvasive brain stimulation techniques—one applied to the scalp and one to the spine—to help improve arm and hand function in people with incomplete cervical spinal cord injuries. The goal is to help you regain strength and control in your hands and arms.
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.
