Active hand brace study for C6–C7 spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests an active hand brace designed to help people with C6–C7 spinal cord injury improve hand and finger movement. It may help with daily hand use by training and supporting weaker motor control after injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal cord injury at the C6–C7 level
- Your injury has been at least 6 months ago
- You have noticeable weakness or reduced hand and finger control below your injury
- You can understand the study and sign consent
- Your hand/arm joints are flexible enough to use the device (no fixed contractures)
- You do not have severe muscle stiffness or painful or open skin problems in the arm/hand

This trial tests a “neural bypass” approach to help restore hand movement and feeling in people with tetraplegia from a spinal cord injury. You would have repeated visits for brain/nerve testing and may receive study procedures to see if function improves.
This trial tests a robotic device that helps move your arm and hand during rehabilitation, with the goal of improving elbow and hand function. You may be a good fit if you have certain nerve/spinal cord injury levels and can still make some finger and elbow muscle movements at the start.
This trial tests a networked neuroprosthesis device designed to interact with nerves in the arm/hand to help assess grasp and release movements. It may help people with certain long-term spinal cord injuries regain more controlled hand function and researchers measure how well the system works.
This study tests a special vibrating device on the hand to see if it can reduce muscle stiffness and spasms in people with spinal cord injury. The device is used for short sessions over several weeks.
This trial tests a smart form of spinal stimulation that responds to your body’s signals to help improve upper-extremity (arm/hand) function after a spinal cord injury. If it works, it may make everyday hand tasks like dressing, grooming, or feeding easier.
This trial tests a type of arm and hand exercise training to see if it helps the brain and nerves recover after a recent spinal cord injury in the neck. It may help people who have some movement left in their arms or hands.
