Brain-Controlled Communication System for People with ALS and Injuries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new augmented reality system that helps people with ALS, spinal cord injury, or brain injury communicate using brain signals and eye movements. It combines special glasses with a headset to let you control a computer just by looking and thinking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have ALS, a spinal cord injury, or a chronic brain injury and need help communicating.
- You can purposefully open and keep your eyes open for at least 30 minutes.
- You have a reliable way to answer 'yes' and 'no' (like nodding, blinking, or vocal sounds).
- You have a friend or family member who can be trained to help you use the system.
- You are 18 or older and understand English well.
- You do not have a history of seizures, sensitivity to flashing lights, or certain vision problems like double vision.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) that uses augmented reality glasses to help people with late-stage ALS communicate. You wear a headset that reads your brain signals and lets you select words or phrases on a screen, giving you a new way to talk to others.
This study tests how well people with ALS, spinal cord injury, or healthy volunteers can use a brain-computer interface (BCI). The goal is to learn how to measure what the device can do, which may help people with severe communication or movement limitations.
This study tests whether recording brain signals can help people regain better control of movements in the arms and help with speech. It may be an option for people with significant disability from certain nerve and brain conditions who can safely take part in brain-monitoring procedures.
This trial tests if a brain-computer implant can help people with locked-in syndrome communicate by reading brain signals related to speech. It is for people who are stable, can move their eyes enough to read, and have no major hearing or thinking problems.
This study tests a brain-computer implant that might help people with severe paralysis or speech loss control a computer with their thoughts. It is for people who have trouble moving and speaking due to a progressive disease or injury.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) that is implanted by a robot. It is designed to help people who have lost the ability to speak clearly or use their hands well, due to conditions like ALS, stroke, or spinal cord injury.
