SCI - SPINAL CORD INJURY

This study tests whether long-term electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain voluntary movement. Researchers will measure changes in muscle activity with and without stimulation. The study enrolls 50 adults with stable injuri…

This study looks at whether regular passive heat therapy (like sitting in a warm room or bath) can improve blood vessel health in people with spinal cord injury. About 48 adults will either receive heat therapy or a placebo for 60 minutes, 4 times a week for 8 weeks, mostly at ho…

This study tests a therapy called ARC-IM, which uses a device implanted near the spine to deliver mild electrical pulses. The goal is to help people with recent or long-term spinal cord injury regain the ability to walk. The study will enroll 12 adults aged 18 to 65 with injuries…

This study tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can safely improve bladder and bowel function in people with spinal cord injury. Ten adults with injuries older than 6 months will receive an implanted stimulator and undergo 6 months of therapy. The goal is to se…

This study explores whether combining magnetic brain stimulation, electrical spinal cord stimulation, and electrical muscle stimulation can improve hand, leg, and trunk function in people with spinal cord injury. About 25 participants, including both injured and healthy individua…

This study is testing whether a powered arm brace called MyoPro can help people with incomplete spinal cord injury use their hands and arms better for daily tasks. Researchers will measure improvements in strength, range of motion, and hand function in 60 participants. The goal i…

This study is testing a special fabric shoulder brace that mimics muscle action to help people with neuromuscular disorders (like muscular dystrophy or ALS) move their arms better. About 30 participants will be evaluated with and without the brace to see if it improves reach, str…

This study looks at how eating affects metabolism and heart health in men with and without spinal cord injury (SCI). Researchers will measure how much energy the body uses after a meal and how hungry participants feel. The goal is to understand these differences to improve future…

This study looks at how eating affects communication between the brain and stomach in people with and without spinal cord injury. Researchers will measure brain and stomach activity in 28 adults to understand gut-brain connections. The goal is to learn more, not to test a treatme…
