SPINAL CORD INJURIES (SCI)

This pilot study tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can help people with long-term spinal cord injury stand and walk again. Five participants will receive a spinal cord stimulator implant and undergo three phases of stimulation over nine months, combined with phys…

This study tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain movement and sensation. Ten participants with injuries between T11 and L3 will receive the implant and be followed for 6 months. The goal is to see…

This study tests a personal exoskeleton that helps people with spinal cord injury stand and walk without using their hands. The device self-balances, so users can move freely. Researchers will check if 24 participants can complete walking tests and daily tasks safely. The goal is…

This study tests whether a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord, combined with daily rehab, can help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain walking ability. Twelve adults with partial paralysis will receive the implant and be followed for a year. The…

This early study tests a brain implant in 5 adults with severe paralysis (from spinal cord injury, ALS, or similar conditions). The goal is to see if the device is safe and can help users control assistive devices like computers or wheelchairs. The implant records brain signals a…

This study tests if a device placed near the spinal cord (epidural electrical stimulation) can safely improve movement and sensation in people with chronic spinal cord injury. Ten adults with injuries above the T10 level will receive the implant and undergo personalized stimulati…

This study is testing a personal exoskeleton that lets people with spinal cord injury walk hands-free and stay balanced on their own. The device is designed to help with everyday tasks like standing, walking indoors, and moving around the kitchen. Researchers will enroll 24 adult…

This early-stage study tests whether a harmless bacteria called Lactobacillus crispatus, when placed directly into the bladder, is safe and can reduce urinary symptoms and infections in adults with spinal cord injury who use catheters. About 40 participants will receive two bladd…

This study tests two types of nerve stimulation (magnetic and electrical) applied through the skin to help control bladder overactivity in people with spinal cord injury. Forty adults aged 18-65 who have not responded well to medication will receive 20 sessions over four weeks. T…

This study tests whether a remote training program can help manual wheelchair users improve their skills, confidence, and how often they perform key movements. About 132 adults with spinal cord injuries will take part, either receiving remote feedback or being placed on a waitlis…

This study looks at whether adding pelvic floor muscle training to standard rehab helps people with spinal cord injury improve bladder, bowel, and sexual function. About 50 adults currently in rehab will do 6 weeks of pelvic floor physical therapy. Researchers want to see if the …

This study tests whether watching virtual walking from different visual angles can reduce chronic nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. About 40 adults with spinal cord injury and ongoing nerve pain will try this approach. The goal is to see if it lowers pain and improves…

This study is testing a new way to use electrical stimulation on the back to help people with spinal cord injury move their legs. The goal is to see if changing the timing and strength of the stimulation can target specific muscles better than current methods. 48 adults with chro…

This study looks at whether a breathing treatment called acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) increases spasticity (muscle tightness) in people with chronic spinal cord injury. Ten adults with incomplete spinal cord injury will receive AIH and have their reflexes and muscle stiffness…

This study aims to create a Turkish version of a questionnaire that measures how environmental factors affect people with spinal cord injuries. Researchers will work with experts and adults with spinal cord injury to make sure the questions are clear and relevant for Turkish cult…

This study uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of ankle cartilage in people with spinal cord injury and compares it to healthy volunteers. The goal is to detect early signs of osteoarthritis, a common joint problem in this group. Researchers will also look at how factors lik…

This study looks at how heart and blood pressure function changes over the first year after a spinal cord injury. Researchers will test whether a non-invasive spinal stimulation technique can help prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure. Five adults with recent spinal injuries …

This study looks at how spinal cord injury (SCI) affects the way people sense and feel their own bodies, a feeling called embodiment. Some people with SCI experience 'disembodiment,' like feeling a limb is in a wrong position. Researchers will use brain scans and questionnaires t…

This study is testing a mobile health app designed to help veterans with spinal cord injuries and their family caregivers manage stress and improve well-being. Researchers will work with 100 participants to adapt the app to their needs and see if it is easy to use. The goal is to…

This study tests whether a 16-week text-messaging program can help people with spinal cord injury better manage common health problems like pain, bladder issues, and stress. About 40 adults who have had a spinal cord injury for at least 3 months will receive texts with tips and s…

This study tests two types of short, repeated low-oxygen breathing sessions to see if they can improve breathing strength and cough function in people who had a spinal cord injury 2 weeks to 6 months ago. The goal is to find out which method works better and to identify genetic f…

This study looks at whether training physical and occupational therapists in a counseling method called motivational interviewing helps people with spinal cord injury or disorder participate more actively in their rehab sessions. About 180 patients will have their therapy session…

This study looks back at the past 10 years to understand how many people in Denmark use a breathing machine at home through a tube in their windpipe. Researchers will track which diseases lead to this need, such as ALS or spinal cord injury, and how many patients survive one year…
