Improved brain-computer interface for veterans with paralysis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing an improved brain-computer interface that may help people with severe paralysis communicate or control devices using their thoughts. It is designed for veterans with paralysis who have limited or no use of their arms and legs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are paralyzed and have little or no control of your arms and legs
- You may also have difficulty speaking or be unable to speak
- You must be willing and able to participate in an extended study
- You must meet additional safety and health criteria determined by the study team

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a brain-computer interface to help people with severe paralysis communicate by decoding attempted speech or movements. It may offer a new way to interact with devices using only brain signals.
This study tests whether a tiny brain computer interface can help people with quadriplegia (loss of movement in all four limbs) communicate or control technology. It’s mainly a feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the device can work safely and reliably in real life.
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.
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.
This study checks whether a brain-computer interface (a BrainGate2 system) is safe and workable for people with ALS. If you qualify, you may be asked to try the device and complete study tasks to help researchers learn how well it can support communication or control.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) that is implanted by a robot. It is designed to help people who have lost the ability to speak clearly or use their hands well, due to conditions like ALS, stroke, or spinal cord injury.
