Double dose of 4-AP for spinal cord injury recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a higher dose of a drug called 4-AP can help improve leg movement and function after a spinal cord injury. It is for people who have had a spinal cord injury at or above the lower back and can already move their ankle and hip slightly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- Your spinal cord injury happened at least 6 months ago
- Your injury is at or above the L2 level (roughly the lower back)
- Your injury is classified as ASIA A, B, C, or D (any level of completeness)
- You can make a small visible movement with your ankle and hip muscles

This trial studies a combination of treatments to help people with certain types of spinal cord injury regain some movement and feeling over time. If you meet the specific injury and health criteria, you may be asked to do simple walking and assessment tests during treatment.
This trial tests a medication called 4-AP to see if it helps nerves in an injured arm or leg heal better. It is for people whose nerve injury might heal on its own, when doctors are not sure if surgery is needed.
This study tests a medicine called 4-AP (also known as Ampyra) to see if it can improve hand symptoms in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It is a 6-week treatment that you take twice a day, and the study will check if it helps with your symptoms.
This study tests a single dose of a medication (4-aminopyridine) to help doctors see if a damaged vocal cord nerve is still connected and might recover. It does this by temporarily improving nerve signaling, which could help guide treatment decisions after an injury.
This study tests whether stimulating the nerves in your spine (via an epidural device) can improve rehab-related function after a spinal cord injury. It focuses on people with stable, motor-complete paraplegia and long-term injuries, and it compares how you respond to the stimulation during rehabilitation.
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.
