Testing training and skin reflex changes for nerve pain after SCI
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how a training program affects skin reflexes and nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). It may help researchers find better ways to manage nerve pain by changing how the body responds to touch and training.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had spinal cord injury for more than 1 year and your symptoms are stable
- A study doctor can medically clear you to take part
- You can stand for at least 3 minutes, with or without an assistive device
- Your pain or spasticity medications will stay the same for at least 3 months
- If you have nerve pain, it must involve your lower legs
- You do not have complete loss of feeling in the skin around your foot

This study tests a special training approach designed to calm overactive leg reflexes (spasticity) after spinal cord injury. If you qualify, you may do structured walking/reflex training to see whether your leg reflexes and movement improve.
This study is looking at how people with spinal cord injuries or peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage outside the spine) experience pain. The goal is to better understand the different types of pain, which could help doctors create more personalized treatments in the future.
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild signals to the spinal cord) affects nerve pain after lumbar surgery. It also aims to help predict who is most likely to improve and why, comparing patients with and without certain sensory symptoms.
This trial tests a multisensory approach to help people with spinal cord injury better perceive their body and reduce long-term nerve pain. It combines body awareness exercises with sensory feedback to see if it can ease pain and improve quality of life.
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 a non-invasive treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the skin over the spine to help relieve nerve-related pain in the lower back. It may be an option for people with chronic nerve pain, with or without pain spreading down the leg.
