Eye-controlled device for neck weakness
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a device that lets you control head and neck movements using your eyes. It's designed to help people with neck weakness (head drop) move their heads more easily by looking in the direction they want to go.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have neck weakness that makes it difficult to hold your head up.
- You do not have severe thinking or memory problems, or vision loss that would prevent you from using a device controlled by your eyes.
- The device can be fitted to you properly (no issues with head or neck size or shape).
Quick eligibility check

This study tests a special neck brace (exoskeleton) designed to help people with ALS who have neck weakness. It will see if the device helps support your head and makes daily tasks easier.
This trial tests a walking device called an exoskeleton to help people with leg weakness or movement problems. It's designed to see if using the exoskeleton regularly over time can help improve walking or mobility.
This trial tests a robotic device that helps move your arm and hand during rehabilitation, with the goal of improving elbow and hand function. You may be a good fit if you have certain nerve/spinal cord injury levels and can still make some finger and elbow muscle movements at the start.
This study tests whether a robotic device can help children with cerebral palsy improve control of their head and neck. It is designed for children who need significant help with mobility and do not have other serious medical issues.
This trial tests a wearable arm exoskeleton that uses your muscle signals to help rehab a weak arm after stroke. It may help improve arm movement by pairing training with this device, but you must meet specific movement, skin, and scan-safety requirements.
This trial tests a wearable robot that helps move your arm. It's for people recovering from a stroke or brachial plexus injury who still have some arm muscle strength but need extra support.
