Neuromodulation to Improve Respiratory Function in Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
This is a phase 1 study of safety and feasibility of cervical spinal cord stimulator implantation in cervical SCI subjects who are ventilator dependent. The Investigators will be focusing on the safety and feasibility of this approach. Participants may qualify for the study if they are male or female 18-75 …
Can Brief Exposure to Hyperoxia Improve Function After Chronic Spinal Cord Injury?
This proof-of-principle study will determine if breathing an increased concentration of oxygen above the concentration in normal room air results in changes in the sensory and motor function in people with subacute or chronic, severe spinal cord injury (SCI).
Autonomic Effects of Stimulation in SCI
This study aims to determine the effects of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation to increase blood pressure and use that device to increase exercise endurance time and heart rate recovery during arm cycle ergometry. In addition, the investigators will see if the stimulation helps regulate body temperature when in a cool …
Epidural Electrical Stimulation to Restore Hemodynamic Stability and Trunk Control in People With Spinal Cord Injury
The HemON study aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of ARC-IM Therapy (Epidural Electrical Stimulation) to improve hemodynamic management and trunk control in people with sub-acute or chronic spinal cord injury (>= 1 month post injury) between C3 and T6 inclusive, who suffer from orthostatic hypotension.
Usability of the Adapted Rower for People With Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine usability of a locally built adaptive rower for people with spinal cord injury using an established and tested design. The main questions it aims to answer are: What exercise intensity of activity do users achieve on the rower for steady state …
Hunova® Randomized Controlled Trial for Trunk Control Improvement in Spinal Cord Injured Patients
In patients with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), trunk and therefore postural control (both in statics and dynamics) are impaired, often with strong consequences on daily life activities. Therefore, improvement and reinforcement of trunk control are primary rehabilitation (rehab) goals. For the evaluation of trunk control in SCI people, still today …
Feasibility of Early Gabapentin as an Intervention for Neurorecovery
The objective of the proposed study is to conduct the first ever prospective, dose-exploration trial to test the feasibility of early administration of gabapentin as an intervention for neurorecovery. This research project falls under the Intervention Development stage of research as the primary goal is to assess the feasibility of …
Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation and Exercise for Locomotion
Growing evidence indicates that electrical spinal cord stimulation improves motor functions both immediately and over the long term via modulating the excitability of spinal circuitry in patients with spinal cord injury. Recently, a novel, non-invasive, well-tolerated, and painless lumbosacral transcutaneous electrical stimulation strategy was demonstrated to be effective in improving …
Duroplasty for Injured Cervical Spinal Cord With Uncontrolled Swelling
QUESTION. Does duroplasty improve outcome after spinal cord injury? WHAT DO WE STUDY? We will investigate whether performing a surgical procedure called duroplasty improves outcomes after spinal cord injury. WHY SPINAL CORD INJURY? Spinal cord injury is a devastating condition that causes permanent disability such as paralysis, numbness and loss …
Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Spinal Cord Injury Neurogenic Bladder
The purpose of this study is to determine if electric stimulation to the leg, called transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS), can improve bladder outcomes in acute spinal cord injury.
