Spinal cord injury rehabilitation for veterans
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a rehabilitation program using magnetic or electrical stimulation to help improve movement and function after a spinal cord injury. It may help you regain strength and independence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a veteran with a spinal cord injury that happened more than a year ago.
- You must be able to read and understand study information on your own.
- You must be able to follow simple instructions in English.
- You must not have any metal implants or devices that could be affected by magnetic or electrical stimulation.
- You must not have other brain or nervous system conditions that could interfere with the study.
- You must not be pregnant or have severe vision, hearing, psychiatric, or pain issues that would limit participation.

This study tests whether spinal cord stimulation combined with training can improve your ability to move your legs and do daily tasks. You may be able to join if you have a traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury (or, in some cases, if you’re a healthy volunteer).
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve bladder, bowel, and other automatic body functions during inpatient rehab after a recent spinal cord injury. It's for people who have a non-worsening injury at or above the T6 level and are within 4 months of their injury.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve movement and muscle control in people with spinal cord injury. If you've had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are between 20-70 years old, this might help improve leg function and walking.
This study tests whether non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve your ability to stand and walk after a spinal cord injury. It explores how your brain and spinal cord can adapt and rebuild connections to help you move better.
This study tests whether stimulating the nerves in your spine (via an epidural device) can improve rehab-related function after a spinal cord injury. It focuses on people with stable, motor-complete paraplegia and long-term injuries, and it compares how you respond to the stimulation during rehabilitation.
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over your spine can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury or stroke. It is for people with some preserved movement in their upper body.
