Personalized spinal stimulation for arm function after spinal injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized electrical stimulation treatment placed near the spine to see if it can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. If you have a stable injury above the mid-back and have not had new nerve problems in the last 6 months, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- Your spinal cord injury happened between 1 and 10 years ago.
- The injury is at or above the T4 level (roughly at your nipple line).
- You have gotten spinal cord decompression surgery, and your spine is stable.
- You are not on a breathing machine, and your vital signs are stable.
- You have not had any new or worsening nerve problems in the last 6 months.
- You are willing to take part in rehabilitation therapy.
- You have already had surgery to implant a spinal cord electrical stimulator or are doing regular rehab.

This trial tests if a device placed near the spinal cord can help improve movement, feeling, and pain after a stroke. It is for people who have had one stroke and have weakness on one side of the body.
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 a device placed on the spinal cord (called an epidural stimulator) can help improve arm and hand function in people with chronic spinal cord injuries. The goal is to boost nerve activity and make rehabilitation more effective.
This study tests whether a device placed near the spinal cord in your neck (called an epidural stimulator) can help improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. It's designed for people with a long-term, motor-complete injury between the C4 and C7 levels.
This study tests a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin over your upper back to help improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. It is designed for people who are already in rehab and have some weakness in their arms.
This trial tests whether an implanted device that sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain movement. It is for those who have not seen recent improvement with rehab.
