How recent spinal cord injury affects movement, thinking, and senses
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how a recent spinal cord injury (within the past week) affects your senses, movement, behavior, and thinking. Researchers will use MRI scans and neurological exams to learn more about these changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a spinal cord injury within the last week.
- A doctor has found that your injury caused loss of feeling or movement (sensory-motor deficit).
- You do not have any metal implants, pacemaker, or other reason that makes an MRI unsafe.
- You do not have a history of thinking or memory problems before the injury.
- You are able to give your own consent and are not under legal protection.

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.
This study uses MRI to look at how muscles in your legs work together after a spinal cord injury. It compares people with incomplete SCI who cannot walk to healthy volunteers, to better understand muscle patterns and help design future therapies.
This study uses MRI scans to look at brain and body changes after a spinal cord injury. It may help researchers understand how the nervous system recovers over time.
This study examines how people with spinal cord injury experience their body and sense of self. You will answer questionnaires and may have an MRI scan of your brain while parts of your body are touched, to see how your brain reacts.
This study looks at people after a recent, serious injury—especially a new spinal cord injury—to see how research and clinical knowledge can be improved. Depending on your group (spinal cord injury, other trauma, or healthy), you may be invited to participate if you meet age and injury timing needs.
This study uses brain and spine scans (and possibly nerve stimulation in some cases) to understand how the nervous system changes after spinal cord injury or certain spinal conditions. It may help researchers better track recovery and understand which changes are linked to symptoms like bladder problems.
