Testing a new drug for chronic spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new medicine called NVG-291 for people with chronic spinal cord injury (1-10 years) in the neck area who still have some movement. The study aims to see if the drug can help improve arm and leg function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You had a traumatic spinal cord injury (from an accident or other trauma) 1 to 10 years ago.
- Your injury is in the neck area (cervical spine) and you have some movement or feeling below that level — you are not completely paralyzed.
- You can move at least one muscle in your legs (even a little).
- You can do a hand grip (like holding a cup, key pinch, or pinch) at least a little in one hand.
- You are not dependent on a ventilator (breathing machine) and do not have certain other medical conditions or devices that would interfere.

This trial tests a new drug called NG004 given by injection around the spinal cord. It aims to help people with recent incomplete spinal cord injuries recover function. The drug is given within the first month after injury and may be an option for those who meet the health criteria.
This trial tests a special nerve stimulator implanted in the neck that may help improve walking after a spinal cord injury. If you have had an incomplete spinal cord injury and still have trouble walking, this treatment might help you regain some movement.
This study tests a new combination of spinal cord and nerve stimulation to help people with spinal cord injuries regain hand function. If you have some movement in your hands but want to improve it, this trial might help you.
This study tests a treatment that uses a small device to send electrical signals to your spinal cord, combined with physical therapy to help you move better. It is for people with long-term spinal cord damage that causes nerve pain and makes it hard to stand or walk.
This trial tests an experimental pill for people with spinal cord injury who have long-term nerve pain. It aims to see if the drug can reduce pain and be safe.
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.
