TETRAPLEGIA

This study looks at whether nerve transfer surgery can improve arm function and quality of life for people with high-level spinal cord injuries (C1-C4). Thirty adults who have stopped recovering naturally will receive standard nerve transfer surgery and be followed for up to 4 ye…

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

This early study tests a brain implant system that may allow people with tetraplegia (paralysis from the neck down) to control assistive devices like robotic arms using only their thoughts. The study involves 5 participants and focuses on safety and whether the implant can help t…

This study tests a new system that reads brain signals to control electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, helping people with cervical spinal cord injury move their arms and hands. Three participants will receive implants to see if the approach is safe and can improve function…

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 is testing a wearable robotic hand orthosis called MyHand-SCI to help people with C6-C7 spinal cord injury improve hand function. The device is designed to assist with grasping and daily tasks. Researchers will enroll 40 participants to evaluate how usable and helpful …

This study tests a brain implant that records signals from the movement area and stimulates the sensory area. It aims to help 30 people with severe arm or hand impairment from spinal cord injury, stroke, or amputation control external devices like computers or robotic arms. The m…

This early-stage study tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) in up to 2 people who have lost the ability to speak due to conditions like spinal cord injury or ALS. The device is implanted in the brain to record signals when the person tries to speak, aiming to translate those si…

This study tests a brain implant that may allow people with paralysis (from spinal cord injury, ALS, or similar conditions) to control a computer cursor or other devices using just their thoughts. The main goal is to check the device's safety and see if it works as a proof of con…

This early-stage study tests whether a brain implant can safely help people with severe paralysis (from ALS, spinal cord injury, or similar conditions) control a computer cursor or speech device just by thinking. Only 3 participants will be enrolled, and the main goal is to check…
