Spinal cord stimulation study for long-term spinal injury outcomes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects long-term recovery and daily functioning in people with stable spinal cord injury. You may be eligible if you already have an implanted, FDA-approved spinal cord stimulator and meet specific safety and timing rules.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 22 or older and able to understand and sign consent
- Have a stable spinal cord injury below the C5 level (not in the neck area)
- Not rely on a ventilator (breathing machine) within the past year
- Be more than 1 year after your spinal injury, and at least 6 months since any spine procedures, and 2 months since stimulator surgery
- Have a working, FDA-approved implanted spinal cord stimulator system with hospital documentation and imaging of it

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial checks on people who already have a spinal cord stimulator from past research, to see how well it works over time. It looks at safety and how the device affects daily life.
This study tests whether a device placed near the spinal cord in your neck (called an epidural stimulator) can help improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. It's designed for people with a long-term, motor-complete injury between the C4 and C7 levels.
This study tests whether stimulating the nerves in your spine (via an epidural device) can improve rehab-related function after a spinal cord injury. It focuses on people with stable, motor-complete paraplegia and long-term injuries, and it compares how you respond to the stimulation during rehabilitation.
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects the body over time after a spinal cord injury. It may help understand if this treatment can improve nerve function and overall health.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve movement and muscle control in people with spinal cord injury. If you've had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are between 20-70 years old, this might help improve leg function and walking.
This trial tests if placing electrodes near the injury site and in the lower back can help people with spinal cord injury recover movement or function. You must have had the injury for more than 2 years.
