Motor Imagery Reaction Time Study in Spinal Cord Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests how quickly people with spinal cord injuries can mentally imagine left and right movements and respond to computer tasks. Researchers want to understand how the brain processes movement imagination after spinal cord injury, which may help develop better rehabilitation strategies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have a spinal cord injury diagnosed by a doctor, specifically affecting your lower body (paraplegia)
- Your spinal cord injury occurred at least 3 months ago and is medically stable
- You can understand instructions and use a computer to perform a left/right judgment task
- You do not have other serious neurological conditions, severe cognitive problems, or uncorrected vision loss
- You are not currently in another treatment-based clinical study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies how nerve pathways in the spinal cord help control movements in people with spinal cord injury. It may help researchers better understand movement control and could lead to improved rehab strategies.
This trial tests a “neural bypass” approach to help restore hand movement and feeling in people with tetraplegia from a spinal cord injury. You would have repeated visits for brain/nerve testing and may receive study procedures to see if function improves.
This study tests whether imagining arm movements (without actually moving) can help improve arm function in people recovering from stroke. Participants will practice visualizing movements to see if it helps restore strength and control in their affected arm.
This trial tests if combining virtual reality with a cognitive task (like counting while exercising) can improve thinking and brain activity in people with spinal cord injury. If you have paraplegia, can move your arms, and do not have other health issues, this might be a good fit.
This study tests whether imagining movements and watching others move can help children with cerebral palsy (a condition affecting one side of the body) improve their motor function and everyday abilities. Researchers want to see if these mental and visual techniques work better than standard care.
This study uses a special camera to see how imagining movement (motor imagery) affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injury. It aims to help understand how the brain recovers after injury.
