Help after spinal cord injury return to work
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests an early support program to help people with a recent spinal cord injury move back toward work or training that leads to competitive jobs. It may help you plan for your next steps while you are transitioning from inpatient rehab back to the community.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult age 18 to 62
- Your spinal cord injury happened less than 12 months ago
- You have been getting inpatient rehabilitation at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation (KIR)
- After you leave KIR, you live in New Jersey (NJ)
- You want to pursue competitive work or education/training that leads to competitive work

This program tests extra help for people recovering from a brain or spinal cord injury so they can work and rejoin their community. If you’re getting inpatient rehab at Kessler and will live in New Jersey after discharge, this may offer practical job-focused support.
This study looks at people after a recent, serious injury—especially a new spinal cord injury—to see how research and clinical knowledge can be improved. Depending on your group (spinal cord injury, other trauma, or healthy), you may be invited to participate if you meet age and injury timing needs.
This study tests whether non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve your ability to stand and walk after a spinal cord injury. It explores how your brain and spinal cord can adapt and rebuild connections to help you move better.
This study tests a special walking program for people who have recently had a spinal cord injury. The goal is to help you recover as much walking ability as possible.
This study tests whether combining activity-based therapy (exercises to improve arm and hand function) with a mild electrical stimulation on the skin of your back can help people with chronic neck-level spinal cord injury regain more arm and hand movement.
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.
