Spinal Stimulation for Spinal Cord Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to use spinal cord stimulation to help people with spinal cord injuries. The goal is to see if it can improve movement or other functions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your spinal cord injury must be between the C4 and L4 vertebrae (the middle to lower part of your spine).
- You need to be able to understand and follow simple directions.
- You cannot have a history of seizures, head injury, concussion, or unexplained loss of consciousness.
- You cannot have any implanted medical devices like a cochlear implant, brain stimulator, pacemaker, or medication pump.
- You cannot have metal implants in your body.
- You cannot be pregnant.

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 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 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 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 how different frequencies of spinal stimulation affect spasticity, movement, and pain after a spinal cord injury. It may help if you have leg spasticity and no implanted devices.
