Understanding Fear and Independence After Spinal Cord Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study explores how fear of movement and falling affects daily life, mood, and independence in people with spinal cord injury affecting the lower body. Researchers will ask questions to understand your experiences and may help identify ways to improve quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Between 18 and 65 years old
- Diagnosed with spinal cord injury affecting the lower body (paraplegia)
- Injury occurred at least 3 months ago
- Medically stable and able to answer questionnaires
- No severe cognitive problems or active infections
- Not currently in another research study

This study looks at how people with spinal cord injury (SCI) feel and picture their bodies. If you have had an SCI for one year or longer, you may help doctors better understand and measure this sense of body awareness.
This study looks at people after a recent, serious injury—especially a new spinal cord injury—to see how research and clinical knowledge can be improved. Depending on your group (spinal cord injury, other trauma, or healthy), you may be invited to participate if you meet age and injury timing needs.
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 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 is looking at how well a special education program helps people with spinal cord injuries manage their health and daily life after leaving the hospital. It is for adults who recently finished their first rehabilitation stay and have a spinal cord injury from the C5 level or lower.
This study looks at how the autonomic nervous system (which controls things like heart rate and blood pressure) changes after a spinal cord injury. It aims to predict later health problems.
