Contrast ultrasound for acute spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if a contrast dye used with ultrasound can help treat recent spinal cord injuries. You may qualify if you had a spinal cord injury less than 24 hours ago and need surgery to fix the spine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You've had a spinal cord injury in the last 24 hours.
- Your injury is mild to severe but not completely without movement or feeling below the injury level.
- You need and can safely have spine surgery to realign and stabilize your back.
- You cannot have a history of severe allergic reactions to contrast agents or certain chemicals (like PEG).
- You cannot have a serious head injury, heart conditions, or a hole in your heart.

This Phase 2 trial tests sotateltide (PMZ-1620) in people with a recent spinal cord injury. It aims to see whether the drug can improve neurological recovery after injury, especially in certain levels and types of incomplete injuries.
This study tests a medication to help the heart pump better after a recent spinal cord injury. It may help improve blood flow and overall recovery.
This study checks whether using a special ultrasound with contrast can improve blood flow in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). If you have leg circulation problems, it may help doctors measure and potentially enhance how well blood reaches your limb.
This trial checks whether a special ultrasound (with contrast) can help doctors evaluate blunt abdominal injuries in children. It may reduce the need for rushed decisions by improving how internal injuries are seen quickly and safely.
This trial tests a new, detailed ultrasound technique that uses a contrast agent (called Definity) to get clearer images of a suspicious area before a biopsy. It may help doctors better see the blood flow in the lesion, which could improve diagnosis.
This trial tests whether adding a special patch (duroplasty) during emergency spinal surgery helps people recover from a recent traumatic spinal cord injury. It's for patients who need decompression surgery within 24 hours of injury.
