TETRAPLEGIA

This early-stage trial tests a brain-computer interface called BrainGate for people with paralysis from conditions like ALS or spinal cord injury. A small sensor is placed in the brain to interpret movement-related signals, allowing users to control a tablet computer just by thin…

This study tests the safety and feasibility of the BrainGate2 system, a brain-computer interface. Tiny sensors are placed in the brain area that controls movement, allowing people with tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) to control a computer cursor or other assistive devic…

This study is testing whether nerve transfer surgery can help people with cervical spinal cord injury regain hand function. Forty participants who have already chosen to have the surgery will be followed for two years, with regular tests of hand strength, sensation, and movement.…

This study tests a brain implant that records activity from the motor cortex and stimulates the sensory cortex. It aims to help people with severe arm or hand impairment—due to spinal cord injury, stroke, or amputation—control external devices like computers. The trial focuses on…

This early study tests a device that reads brain signals and stimulates the spinal cord to help people with cervical spinal cord injury move their arms and hands. Three participants will have electrodes implanted in their brain and over their spinal cord. The goal is to see if th…

This study looks at whether nerve transfer surgery can improve arm function and quality of life in people with high-level cervical spinal cord injuries (tetraplegia). Thirty participants will receive standard nerve transfer surgery and be followed for up to 4 years. The goal is t…

This study is testing a surgically implanted device that uses small electrical currents to stimulate nerves and muscles in the trunk and hips. The goal is to help people with spinal cord injury improve their seated posture, balance, breathing, reaching, and ability to push a whee…

This early study tests a brain implant system called BiCNS in 5 people with tetraplegia (paralysis from the neck down). The implant records brain signals and may allow users to control assistive devices like a robotic arm. The main goal is safety—making sure the device stays in p…

This study is testing a wearable robotic hand orthosis called MyHand-SCI for people with C6-C7 spinal cord injury. The device is designed to assist with hand and finger movement. Researchers will enroll 40 participants to evaluate how usable and helpful the device is. The goal is…

This early-stage study tests a brain implant called BrainGate in just 3 people with severe paralysis or speech loss from conditions like ALS or spinal cord injury. The goal is to see if the device is safe and can let users control a computer cursor or other tools by thought alone…

This study tests a brain implant that reads signals from the brain to help people who have lost the ability to speak fluently communicate through a computer just by trying to talk. It involves up to 2 participants with conditions like spinal cord injury or ALS. The main goal is t…
