Vagus nerve stimulation for spinal cord injury follow-on study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether vagus nerve stimulation can help people with spinal cord injury improve arm, leg, bladder, or sensory function. You must have completed an earlier phase of this research to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have completed phase 2 of the earlier SCI EFS study (NCT04288245)
- You have a working vagus nerve stimulation device that hasn't been removed
- You can follow study rules and attend all visits
- You have reliable internet if doing sessions at home
- You don't have any major health changes that would make the device unsafe

This study tests a wireless nerve stimulation device placed near the vagus nerve to help people recover after a stroke. It focuses on people with specific remaining arm/hand movement and recovery levels at least 12 months after stroke.
This study tests whether a device that stimulates the vagus nerve can help people with chronic spinal cord injury walk better. The device is implanted and works in a closed-loop system to improve gait.
This trial tests whether pairing vagus nerve stimulation with rehabilitation exercises can improve movement and daily function in people with long-term motor problems after a severe traumatic brain injury.
This trial tests whether pairing vagus nerve stimulation with rehabilitation exercises can improve arm function after a stroke. It may help if your stroke was from a clot and you still have weakness in one arm.
This trial tests whether pairing vagus nerve stimulation (a mild electrical pulse to a nerve in the neck) with rehabilitation exercises can help improve arm movement after a brain bleed. It may be an option if you have had a brain bleed more than 6 months ago and still have some arm weakness.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive nerve stimulation on the ear combined with arm and hand therapy to see if it can improve movement and function for people with neck-level spinal cord injury who still have some hand ability.
