Spinal cord injury: complications and patterns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at the patterns and health problems that can come with spinal cord injuries. It may help doctors better understand how to care for people with paraplegia or tetraplegia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body) or tetraplegia (paralysis of arms and legs).
- You do not have a traumatic brain injury (a head injury that caused brain damage).
- You do not have a brain tumor.
- You do not have any lesions (damaged areas) inside your skull.

This study looks at the legal and medical aspects of sudden spinal cord injuries. It aims to understand how these injuries are evaluated and documented for legal purposes. If you've had a recent traumatic spinal cord injury, you may be able to join.
This trial collects tissue samples from people with new spinal cord injuries to study recovery. It may help researchers understand how to improve treatment.
This trial is a registry that collects information about people 18 and older who have a first spinal cord injury caused by trauma. By sharing details, you help researchers better understand outcomes and care needs after these injuries.
This study looks for ways to test treatments for people with spinal cord injuries and/or brain injuries. It may help researchers better understand which treatment approaches work and for whom.
This study is for people who have had a sudden spinal cord injury from trauma or a sudden lack of blood flow (ischemia) and can be assessed within six weeks. It aims to better understand spinal cord injury and may help guide future care.
This study is looking for people with a spinal cord injury from a blunt force (not a penetrating injury like a gunshot or stab wound) to see if certain substances in the blood (called biomarkers) can help doctors understand the injury better and predict recovery. It involves an initial blood sample within 24 hours of the injury and follow-up assessments.
