SPINAL CORD INJURIES (SCI)

This pilot study tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain movement. Five participants will receive a spinal cord stimulator implant and undergo three phases of stimulation over 9 months, targeting the injury si…

This study tests a personal exoskeleton that lets people with spinal cord injury walk hands-free and balance on their own. The goal is to see if it's safe and helps with mobility, like standing, walking short distances, and doing everyday tasks. The trial involves 24 adults with …

This study tests a brain implant that records and stimulates brain areas to help adults with paralysis control assistive devices like computers or wheelchairs and receive sensory feedback. The trial enrolls 5 people with conditions like spinal cord injury or ALS. The main goal is…

This study tests whether a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain movement and feeling. Ten participants with injuries between the T11 and L3 vertebrae will have the device surgically implanted and then u…

This study tests whether a surgically implanted device that sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord, combined with daily rehab, can improve walking in people with chronic spinal cord injury. Twelve participants with partial paralysis will be followed for a year to check safety…

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 tests whether a smartphone app called iROLL-O+ can help people who use wheelchairs or scooters prevent and manage falls better than standard advice from the CDC. The study includes 120 adults with spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis who have had at least one fall …

This study is testing a personal exoskeleton that helps people with spinal cord injury stand and walk without using their hands. The device is self-balancing, so users can keep their hands free. The trial will include 24 adults with paralysis from the chest down or higher, and wi…

This study looks at whether a 6-week pelvic floor muscle training program is practical and helpful for people with spinal cord injury during inpatient rehab. Researchers want to see if it can improve bladder, bowel, and sexual function and quality of life. About 50 adults with sp…

This study tests two types of nerve stimulation (magnetic and electrical) applied through the skin to help people with spinal cord injury who have bladder overactivity not controlled by medication. Forty adults aged 18-65 will receive 20 sessions of one method. The goal is to see…

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 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 tests whether a remote training program can help manual wheelchair users improve their skills, confidence, and how often they perform key maneuvers. About 132 adults with spinal cord injuries will either receive remote coaching or be placed on a waitlist. The main goal…

This study compares ankle cartilage thickness between 76 adults with spinal cord injury and healthy volunteers using ultrasound. The goal is to detect early signs of osteoarthritis, a common complication after spinal cord injury. Researchers will also assess participants' mobilit…

This study looks at whether training physical and occupational therapists in a counseling method called motivational interviewing helps people with spinal cord injuries or disorders engage more actively in their rehab sessions. Researchers will compare participation and recovery …

This study looks at how spinal cord injury (SCI) affects a person's sense of their own body, called embodiment. People with SCI sometimes feel disconnected from their limbs or have unusual body sensations. Researchers will use brain scans (fMRI) and questionnaires to understand t…

This study tests two short-term breathing therapies in 18 adults with a recent spinal cord injury (2 weeks to 6 months ago). The goal is to see which therapy better improves breathing strength and cough function. Researchers will also look at genes to understand why some people r…

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

This study will create a Turkish version of a questionnaire called the Nottwil Environmental Factors Inventory (NEFI), which measures how environmental factors affect people with spinal cord injuries. Researchers will work with 405 adults living with spinal cord injury in Turkey …

This study is testing a mobile health app designed to support the mental health and well-being of veterans with spinal cord injuries and their family caregivers. About 100 participants will help researchers adapt and improve the app by sharing their needs and feedback. The goal i…

This study follows 5 people with recent spinal cord injuries for one year to see how their heart and blood pressure change. Researchers will test if a gentle electrical stimulation on the back can help stabilize blood pressure. The goal is to understand the body's response over t…

This study tests a new way to use spinal cord stimulation to help people with spinal cord injury regain movement. Researchers want to see if adjusting the timing and location of stimulation can better target specific muscles. The study involves 48 adults with chronic spinal cord …

This study looks back at the last 10 years to understand how many people in Denmark use a breathing machine at home through a tube in their throat. Researchers will examine which diseases lead to this need and how many patients survive one year after starting. The goal is to gath…

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…
