Wireless brain implant for device control
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a wireless brain implant that lets you control external devices like a computer or wheelchair just by thinking. It's designed for people with paralysis or double arm amputations who want to regain some independence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have paralysis from a spinal cord injury, brainstem stroke, ALS, a similar motor neuron disease, or you have lost both arms above the elbow.
- Your condition has been stable for at least 1 year (no big changes in the last 6 months).
- You do not have any metal implants in your brain or body (except normal dental work).
- You are not on blood thinners you can't pause, and you are healthy enough for surgery.

This trial tests a wireless implant placed on the brain's surface to help people with cervical (neck-level) spinal cord injuries regain some arm and hand movement. The device reads brain signals and sends them to muscles, potentially bypassing the damaged spinal cord.
This trial tests a fully implanted wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) to help people with paralysis from a neck-level spinal cord injury regain hand and arm movement. The BCI reads brain signals and sends them to your arm, bypassing the damaged spinal cord.
This study tests a wireless brain-computer implant that may help people with severe paralysis or limb loss regain some arm and hand movement. The implant is placed in the brain to pick up signals and send them to a computer or device.
This study tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices like a computer or tablet just by thinking. It is for people with paralysis or severe weakness in both arms due to conditions like spinal cord injury, ALS, or stroke.
This trial tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices using your thoughts. It's for people with limited arm function due to spinal cord injury, stroke, ALS, or similar conditions.
This clinical trial tests a brain-computer interface (a small device implanted in the brain) that may help people with severe paralysis control external devices like a computer or tablet using only their thoughts. The study is for adults with paralysis from a spinal cord injury or ALS, and requires a stable caregiver.
