What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused

Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether adding a non-invasive spinal cord stimulation technique (TSCS) to standard rehabilitation can improve arm and hand function in people with a recent spinal cord injury. About 18 adults with cervical-level injuries will receive either real or sham stimulation during rehab. The goal is to see if this low-cost approach can enhance recovery and reduce muscle stiffness.
