Neck Spinal Cord Stimulation for Recovery After Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord in the neck can help you recover function after cervical spine surgery. It is for people who need neck surgery and do not already have a stimulator device in their neck or chest.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled for or have a medical need for neck (cervical) surgery.
- You cannot have any electrical stimulation device already placed in your neck or chest, like a pacemaker.
Quick eligibility check

This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spine can be safely used for people with spinal cord injury. If you have had a surgery to stabilize your spine, this stimulation could help with recovery.
This study tests whether using a combination of spinal and brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a cervical spinal cord injury (neck area) at least one year ago. It is for those with some remaining movement but not full strength.
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 study tests whether a small electrical stimulation device, placed during your neck surgery, can help the nerve in your shoulder recover faster and reduce shoulder problems after surgery. It may help you regain shoulder strength and movement more quickly.
This study tests whether using electrical stimulation during neck surgery can help improve how the brain and spinal cord process sensory information. It may offer new ways to help people with stroke-related weakness.
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator, already being placed for chronic pain, can also improve strength and function in your arm or hand after nerve transfer surgery. It aims to give you a boost in everyday use beyond what standard hand therapy has provided.
