This study is testing whether a free smartphone app called Positive Peers can help young adults (ages 13-34) with HIV keep their virus at undetectable levels and stay connected to their medical care. Researchers will see if using the app leads to better health outcomes compared t…

This study is testing whether starting the medication gabapentin very early after a spinal cord injury might help improve long-term recovery of movement and body functions. It will enroll 42 adults who recently suffered a spinal cord injury to see if it's practical to run a large…

This study is testing a small, implantable device called KeyGrip to see if it can help restore hand function in people with cervical spinal cord injury. The device uses mild electrical pulses to activate paralyzed muscles, aiming to improve grasp strength and the ability to hold …

This study is testing if adding a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation to hand therapy helps people recover hand movement after a stroke. It will compare three different types of stimulation over 12 weeks of therapy. The goal is to see which approach, if any, leads to better re…

This study is testing a small, implanted device called a neuroprosthesis to help restore hand and arm movement for people with cervical spinal cord injuries. The device stimulates nerves to activate paralyzed muscles, allowing participants to perform tasks like picking up and rel…

This study is testing whether a surgically implanted electrical stimulator can help people walk better after a stroke. Six participants who are at least six months post-stroke and have difficulty walking will have the device implanted. Researchers will then train them to use it a…

This small pilot study is testing whether combining two non-invasive therapies can help improve hand control in people who have had a stroke. Researchers will use gentle electrical stimulation on the brain (tDCS) along with electrical stimulation on the hand muscles (FES) to see …

This study is testing if a new type of therapy, where people practice working in a simulated café, helps improve recovery after a traumatic brain injury better than traditional therapy alone. Researchers will compare 20 adults with chronic brain injuries who either participate in…

This study is testing whether daily electrical stimulation on the skin near the pelvic area can help reduce bowel accidents in people living with spinal cord injuries. Twelve participants will use a small, at-home stimulation device for several hours a day over four weeks to see …

This study is testing if a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation on a genital nerve can help improve bowel control for people living with a spinal cord injury. Researchers will measure how the rectum and anus work with and without the stimulation in 52 participants to see i…
