Study on spinal cord injury before or during birth
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how spinal cord injuries that happened before or during birth affect people. It may help researchers understand more about these injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were diagnosed with a spinal cord injury that happened before or during birth.
- The injury is in the upper part of the spine (neck area).
- You have been discharged from the hospital or rehab.
- You have not used Botox in the last 3 months.
- You do not take baclofen (by mouth or through a pump).
- You are willing to stop wearing a back brace and foot brace during the day for the study.

This trial uses a noninvasive neuromodulation approach to stimulate the spinal walking circuits in children after spinal cord injury. It is meant to see whether the treatment can help a child practice stepping when they currently cannot stand or start walking.
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 early study tests a noninvasive way of training the nervous system to see how it affects “associative plasticity,” or the brain/spinal cord’s ability to change with practice. It may help researchers learn strategies that could improve function for people with spinal cord injury.
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 combining activity-based therapy (exercises to improve arm and hand function) with a mild electrical stimulation on the skin of your back can help people with chronic neck-level spinal cord injury regain more arm and hand movement.
This study tests whether a special type of electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the lower spine can help improve function in children and teenagers with spina bifida. It aims to see if this treatment can make daily activities easier.
