Body awareness after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study examines how people with spinal cord injury experience their body and sense of self. You will answer questionnaires and may have an MRI scan of your brain while parts of your body are touched, to see how your brain reacts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 60 years old
- You are a native German or Italian speaker
- You have a traumatic spinal cord injury that is at least one year old and located below the upper chest (below T1)
- You still have some feeling on the front of your upper thighs (at least one leg)
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain other health conditions (like epilepsy, stroke, or a brain injury)
- You are comfortable with an MRI scanner (no metal implants, pacemaker, or claustrophobia)

This study uses MRI scans to look at brain and body changes after a spinal cord injury. It may help researchers understand how the nervous system recovers over time.
This study uses brain and spine scans (and possibly nerve stimulation in some cases) to understand how the nervous system changes after spinal cord injury or certain spinal conditions. It may help researchers better track recovery and understand which changes are linked to symptoms like bladder problems.
This trial studies how nerve pathways in the spinal cord help control movements in people with spinal cord injury. It may help researchers better understand movement control and could lead to improved rehab strategies.
This study looks at how people with spinal cord injury (SCI) feel and picture their bodies. If you have had an SCI for one year or longer, you may help doctors better understand and measure this sense of body awareness.
This trial tests a multisensory approach to help people with spinal cord injury better perceive their body and reduce long-term nerve pain. It combines body awareness exercises with sensory feedback to see if it can ease pain and improve quality of life.
This study uses a special camera to see how imagining movement (motor imagery) affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injury. It aims to help understand how the brain recovers after injury.
