Stem cells and spinal stimulation for chronic spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of stem cells injected into the spinal fluid and a non-invasive spinal cord stimulation device to see if they can improve recovery after a spinal cord injury. It is for people who have had a single traumatic injury between neck and mid-back, 1 to 5 years ago, and are in stable health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 16 and 70 years old (if under 18, a parent must also agree).
- You had a single traumatic spinal cord injury 1 to 5 years ago, at levels C1 to T12, and your injury type is AIS A, B, or C.
- You are generally healthy and able to attend all study visits and follow instructions.
- You do not have any implanted medical devices (like a pacemaker or spinal cord stimulator) and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests a spinal cord stimulation device to help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain leg movement. It aims to improve muscle control and function.
This phase 1 trial tests a new treatment made from stem cells (XS228) for people who had a spinal cord injury 14 to 60 days ago. Doctors want to see if it's safe and if it might help with recovery.
This study tests a new treatment for spinal cord injury that is given through a spinal tap. It is for people with a recent or past spinal cord injury who are at least 18 years old. The treatment may help improve recovery.
This trial tests whether a new cell therapy (XS228) can help people with recent spinal cord injuries recover function. The cells are given through a spinal tap and are designed to replace damaged nerve cells.
This trial tests if a smart spinal cord stimulation device can improve leg movement in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. The device adjusts stimulation in real time to help you walk better.
This study tests whether combining a special pacemaker for the spine (spinal cord stimulation) with physical therapy can help people with long-term spinal cord injury reduce chronic pain and improve movement.
