Brain imaging of motor imagery effects in spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a special camera to see how imagining movement (motor imagery) affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injury. It aims to help understand how the brain recovers after injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal cord injury (SCI) confirmed by CT or MRI, and the injury is between levels C5 and T12.
- Your injury is less than 12 months old, and you have passed the spinal shock stage.
- Your ASIA grade is A, B, or C.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are able to understand instructions and are willing to take part in the study.
- You do not have serious health problems like tumors, unstable fractures, severe pain, or emotional issues that would prevent participation.

This study tests a new brain-computer system that helps people recovering from a stroke in the left side of the brain. It uses your thoughts to move a device, which may help improve arm and hand movement.
This study tests how quickly people with spinal cord injuries can imagine movement (like picturing left or right). It helps doctors understand mental processing after injury, which may guide future rehab.
This study tests a brain-computer interface that uses motor imagery (imagining moving your body) to help people with multiple sclerosis. It may help improve how your brain controls movement, even if you have mild spasticity.
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 uses a special type of MRI that looks at muscle activity during movement. It aims to understand how muscles work together in people with spinal cord injuries who cannot walk, which could help improve future rehabilitation.
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.
