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 if a home-based program of guided mental practice (AOMI) can help improve thinking skills and mood in adults with spinal cord injury. It uses a smartphone app and includes MRI scans to see changes in the brain.
This study tests how quickly people with spinal cord injuries can mentally imagine left and right movements and respond to computer tasks. Researchers want to understand how the brain processes movement imagination after spinal cord injury, which may help develop better rehabilitation strategies.
This trial tests if combining a brain-computer interface (a device that reads brain signals) with virtual reality (an immersive computer environment) can help improve arm movement after a stroke. It might be a good fit if you had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago and still have some weakness in one arm.
This trial tests a combination of spinal cord stimulation and a brain-computer interface that lets you control a device with your thoughts. It's for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some movement in their wrist or fingers but need help improving arm function.
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 tests whether imagining arm movements (without actually moving) can help improve arm function in people recovering from stroke. Participants will practice visualizing movements to see if it helps restore strength and control in their affected arm.
