Brain implant to improve arm and leg movement after spinal injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain implant that may help people with tetraplegia (paralysis of both arms and legs) move better. It is for people who have had a stable spinal cord or brainstem injury for at least 6 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have paralysis in both arms and legs from a spinal cord or brainstem injury.
- It has been at least 6 months since your injury, and your condition is stable.
- Your arm strength is very low (grade 2 or less) and leg strength is limited (grade 3 or less).
- You are able to think clearly and score at least 20 on a memory and thinking test.

This trial tests a fully implanted wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) to help people with paralysis from a neck-level spinal cord injury regain hand and arm movement. The BCI reads brain signals and sends them to your arm, bypassing the damaged spinal cord.
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 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.
This trial tests a new brain-computer interface device that is implanted in the brain to help people with paralysis or limb loss move again. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well for motor rehabilitation.
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain device designed to help people with severe paralysis or movement disorders regain the ability to communicate and control their limbs. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into commands that could help you interact with computers or assistive technology.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device implanted in the brain) to help people who have had a stroke regain arm movement. It may help if you have a single stroke that happened 6 to 18 months ago and still have trouble using your arm.
