Combination therapy to improve spinal cord injury recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies a combination of treatments to help people with certain types of spinal cord injury regain some movement and feeling over time. If you meet the specific injury and health criteria, you may be asked to do simple walking and assessment tests during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between ages 18 and 70
- Have a spinal cord injury that is non-worsening (not a progressive disease) and is chronic (more than 12 months ago)
- Your injury level must be at or below C2 and at or above L2, with some preserved movement or sensation below the injury
- You must be able to walk 10 meters (about 33 feet) without another person helping you
- You must be medically stable and cleared by the study doctor
- Not have major exclusions like severe uncontrolled infections, severe pressure sores, or serious heart/lung problems, and have adequate basic thinking ability (Mini-Mental score 24+)

This study tests whether breathing low-oxygen air (a treatment called AIH) combined with spinal stimulation can help people with chronic spinal cord injury walk better. It may improve your walking speed and endurance.
This trial tests a treatment to help people with chronic spinal cord injury improve arm and hand function. It combines two therapies to see if they work better together.
This trial studies whether a spinal cord stimulation approach plus rehab can improve function and safety in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury who cannot walk. It may help people by supporting rehabilitation over time, but it requires surgery and specific health and imaging conditions.
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.
This trial tests a treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the upper spine to help improve arm and hand function after a recent spinal cord injury. It is for people who are in the hospital and have injury levels between C1 and C8.
This study tests a new way to help people with spinal cord injury improve their walking. If you have some ankle movement but still need support to walk, you may be able to join.
