Brain retraining for wrist movement after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a brain-training technique that uses small electrical pulses can help improve wrist movement in people with spinal cord injury. It is designed for those who have some wrist weakness but can still produce a tiny electrical signal in the wrist muscle.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your spinal cord injury is at or above the C6 neck level.
- Your injury happened more than 1 year ago and your health is stable.
- You have weakness when trying to lift your wrist (on at least one side).
- You are not pregnant, do not have a history of seizures, and have no metal implants in your skull or any implanted device (like a pacemaker) in your chest or above.

This trial tests whether a brain stimulation technique can improve arm and hand function in people with spinal cord injury at or above C6. It may help strengthen signals from the brain to the wrist muscles.
This trial tests a wireless implant placed on the brain's surface to help people with cervical (neck-level) spinal cord injuries regain some arm and hand movement. The device reads brain signals and sends them to muscles, potentially bypassing the damaged spinal cord.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation can help improve arm and hand function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It involves training exercises combined with stimulation to see if this approach can strengthen your arms and hands.
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation method can improve arm and hand function in people with spinal cord injury, as well as in healthy individuals. The goal is to find a safe and effective way to boost recovery.
This study tests whether using a combination of spinal and brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a cervical spinal cord injury (neck area) at least one year ago. It is for those with some remaining movement but not full strength.
This study tests if combining two types of electrical stimulation—one to the spinal cord and one to the nerves in the arm—can help restore hand movement in people with chronic cervical spinal cord injury.
