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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve in the neck to help improve arm and hand function after a recent stroke. It is for people who have some but not full use of their arm and hand.
This study tests a new treatment for people who have a severe traumatic brain injury and still have trouble moving or doing daily tasks. It uses a device that sends mild electrical signals to the brain (called vagus nerve stimulation) to help recovery.
This study tests whether pairing rehabilitation exercises with a gentle nerve stimulation device can help people who had a brain bleed (hemorrhagic stroke) more than 6 months ago improve arm and hand function. The treatment is non-invasive and may boost the brain's ability to relearn movements.
This trial tests a special nerve stimulator implanted in the neck that may help improve walking after a spinal cord injury. If you have had an incomplete spinal cord injury and still have trouble walking, this treatment might help you regain some movement.
