Arm recovery in the first 6 months after a neck spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tracks how arm and hand function improves in the first six months after a cervical spinal cord injury. It aims to better understand recovery and help design better therapies.

This trial tests a combination of two noninvasive brain stimulation techniques—one applied to the scalp and one to the spine—to help improve arm and hand function in people with incomplete cervical spinal cord injuries. The goal is to help you regain strength and control in your hands and arms.
This trial tests a type of arm and hand exercise training to see if it helps the brain and nerves recover after a recent spinal cord injury in the neck. It may help people who have some movement left in their arms or hands.
This trial looks at an upper-arm exercise program for people with long-term (at least 6 months) spinal cord injuries in the neck area. It may help improve how you use your arms and manage stiffness, while also checking if the program is safe for participants.
This study tests an intensive 6-week arm training program for people who had a first stroke 3 to 6 months ago and still have arm weakness. The goal is to see how the brain can recover arm function.
This study tests a non-invasive, painless nerve stimulation technique to see if it can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. It may help people who have had a neck-level injury more than 9 months ago.
This study is for people who have had a sudden spinal cord injury from trauma or a sudden lack of blood flow (ischemia) and can be assessed within six weeks. It aims to better understand spinal cord injury and may help guide future care.
