TETRAPLEGIA

This study tests a brain implant system that records neural signals and stimulates the brain to help people with tetraplegia control assistive devices like robotic arms. Up to 5 participants with C4-C6 spinal cord injuries will be enrolled. The main goal is to see if the device i…

This study looks at whether nerve transfer surgery can improve arm function and quality of life in people with high-level spinal cord injuries (C1-C4). About 30 adults who have not recovered further for at least 6 months will have surgery and be followed for up to 4 years. Resear…

This study tests a brain-computer interface (iBCI) that reads movement-related brain signals to let people with severe paralysis (from ALS, spinal cord injury, or brainstem stroke) control a tablet computer just by thinking. The goal is to restore fast, natural communication usin…

This study tests a brain implant that records activity from the movement area of the brain and stimulates the sensory area. It is for people who have little or no use of their hands due to spinal cord injury, stroke, or amputation. The goal is to see if the implant is safe and ca…

This study tests a brain implant called BrainGate2 for people with tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) due to spinal cord injury, ALS, stroke, or similar conditions. The goal is to see if it is safe and if participants can use their thoughts to control a computer cursor or …

This study tests a system that reads brain signals to control spinal cord stimulation, aiming to help people with cervical spinal cord injury move their arms and hands. Three participants will have electrodes placed on the brain and spinal cord to see if the approach is safe and …

This study tests a surgically implanted device that uses small electric currents to stimulate trunk and hip muscles in people with spinal cord injury. The goal is to improve seated posture, balance, breathing, reaching, and wheelchair mobility. Ten participants with injuries betw…

This study is testing a wearable robotic hand orthosis called MyHand-SCI to help people with C6-C7 spinal cord injury improve hand function. About 40 participants will use the device and rate its ease of use. The goal is to see if the device can assist with daily tasks like grasp…

This early-stage study tests the safety of a brain implant (BrainGate system) in up to 3 people with severe paralysis or locked-in syndrome. The goal is to see if participants can use their thoughts to control a computer cursor or other assistive devices. The study focuses on saf…

This study tests a brain implant that reads signals from the brain to help people who have lost the ability to speak fluently communicate by simply trying to talk. Two adults with conditions like spinal cord injury or ALS will be enrolled. The goal is to understand how speech is …
