Brain signals for controlling assistive devices
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is for adults with a spinal cord injury who want to help researchers improve devices like wheelchairs or robotic arms. They will record your brain signals to see how you can control assistive tools.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form
- You have a spinal cord injury that happened more than 6 months ago (traumatic injury)
- Your injury is between the C4 and T1 levels of your spine
- You still have some movement or feeling below your injury

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests how spinal cord stimulation affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injuries. It aims to understand the physiological effects using EEG (a brainwave test).
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) system designed to help people with severe spinal cord injuries regain some ability to move or control devices using their thoughts. The device reads signals directly from the brain to bypass the injured spinal cord.
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 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 combining brain-computer interface technology with spinal cord stimulation can help improve walking in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It aims to see if this approach works when standard rehab has stopped helping.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation can help improve arm and hand function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It involves training exercises combined with stimulation to see if this approach can strengthen your arms and hands.
