CERVICAL SPINAL CORD INJURY

This study is testing whether a surgically implanted device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to the neck spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain control of their arms and hands. Twelve participants will have the device implanted and undergo intensive…

This study is testing whether an implanted electrical stimulator on the spinal cord can help people with long-term, severe neck-level spinal injuries. Researchers want to see if the device can safely improve automatic body functions like blood pressure control, bladder and bowel …

This study is testing a special sleeve worn on the forearm that helps people with paralysis in all four limbs (tetraplegia) regain control of their hand grasp. The sleeve detects tiny muscle signals when a person tries to move their hand, then uses gentle electrical stimulation t…

This study is testing whether a nerve transfer surgery can help restore elbow movement and arm function in people with high-level spinal cord injuries in their neck. Researchers will observe 30 participants who undergo this standard surgical procedure, tracking their strength, in…

This early study is testing the safety and basic function of a new brain implant system designed for people with severe paralysis. A small, wireless implant is placed in the brain by a surgical robot. The goal is to see if the implant can safely allow participants to control comp…

This early study is testing a brain implant designed to help people with severe paralysis communicate. A small group of adults with conditions like ALS or spinal cord injury will have a device surgically placed in their brain by a robot. The main goal is to see if this system is …

This early study is testing the safety of a new brain implant designed to help people who have lost the ability to speak or move. The device, called Connexus, aims to translate a person's thoughts into speech or computer commands. It is being tested in a small group of people wit…

This study is testing a small brain implant that reads movement signals from the brain. The goal is to help people who are paralyzed from conditions like spinal cord injury, stroke, or ALS control a tablet computer for communication. The main focus is on checking if the implant i…

This early-stage study is testing whether a new rehabilitation system is safe and practical for people with neck spinal cord injuries. The system combines augmented reality glasses with gentle electrical stimulation to help participants practice hand and arm movements. The main g…

This study aims to find the best way to stimulate the spinal cord in the neck to help restore hand and arm movement after a spinal cord injury. Researchers will test short-term electrical stimulation on 36 people who are already scheduled for neck surgery. The goal is to gather i…
