This study is testing a small device called KeyGrip that is implanted in the arm to help people with cervical spinal cord injury regain hand function. The device uses mild electrical pulses to activate paralyzed muscles, allowing hand opening and closing. Researchers will measure…

This trial tests a device implanted in the arm that stimulates paralyzed muscles to help people with cervical spinal cord injury pick up and release objects. The study involves 13 participants and focuses on safety and how well the device improves hand function. It is an early-st…

This study tests whether a mobile app called Positive Peers can help young people (ages 13-34) with HIV keep the virus under control. About 250 participants who are racial, ethnic, sexual, or gender minorities will use the app and complete surveys over 12 months. The main goal is…

This study tests whether using a small electrical stimulation device on the skin near the genitals can help people with spinal cord injury control bowel accidents. Twelve participants will use the device at home for 6-8 hours daily over 4 weeks. The goal is to see if this approac…

This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of a nerve in the genital area can improve bowel control in people with spinal cord injury. Researchers will measure how the rectum and anus respond to the stimulation using a small balloon. The goal is to see if this non-inv…

After a stroke, many people lose the ability to open their affected hand. This study tests three different non-invasive brain stimulation methods combined with hand therapy to see which works best. Researchers will enroll 63 adults who had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago and compare …

This small pilot study is testing whether combining two non-invasive treatments—brain stimulation (tDCS) and muscle stimulation (FES)—can help improve hand control in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. The study involves 15 participants and will measure changes in b…

This study is checking if it's possible to give gabapentin, a nerve pain medication, within the first few days after a spinal cord injury. The goal is to see if a larger study on nerve recovery can be done. About 42 adults with any level or severity of spinal cord injury will tak…
