Brain-Controlled Spinal Stimulation Walking Therapy After Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
The purpose of this research is to test the effectiveness of a new therapy, called Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)-Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation (TSCS), for improving walking in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI).
The HAPPINESS Trial: cHAnging the Perceived Pain INtensity in divErSe Populations With Spinal Cord Injury
Chronic neuropathic pain affects 69% of adults with spinal cord injury (SCI). Current treatment options are limited (primarily pain medications) with insufficient benefits and significant risks for addiction and adverse effects. Of the available mind and body approaches, Qigong is the most accessible for adults with SCI with evidence for …
Promoting Recovery Outcomes Through Precise Early Locomotor Interventions in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a specific type of additional walking therapy, called body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) affects walking ability following a traumatic spinal cord injury. Specifically, the study will look at whether starting BWSTT, which uses a body harness to support body weight …
Testosterone and Neural Function
Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts the nerves controlling movement, along with those that regulate functions like heart rate and blood pressure (known as the autonomic nervous system, or ANS). Testosterone (T) plays a significant role in brain health and ANS reflex function in non-neurologically impaired men. However, little is known …
Epidural Stimulation and Resistance Training After SCI
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating health problem for tens of thousands of military personnel, Veterans and civilians annually. Many persons with SCI must use a wheelchair for their entire life. A new scientific breakthrough called "lumbosacral epidural stimulation" or "ES" can help people with SCI to stand, step …
Study on Preliminary Safety and Efficacy of Epidural Electrical Stimulation to Manage Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction After Spinal Cord Injury
This clinical trial aims to assess the preliminary safety and efficacy of Epidural Electrical Stimulation (EES) therapy in managing lower urinary tract dysfunction in individuals with sub-acute or chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). The study evaluates the therapy's potential to improve urinary function and prevent neurogenic detrusor overactivity, ultimately seeking …
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation and Glucose Control in Spinal Cord Injury
Overall aim: To identify the impact and acceptability of a novel method of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for improving glucose control using a dual stable isotope tracer OGTT in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Objective 1: To establish the extent to which an acute bout of NMES improves health-related …
Epidural Electrical Stimulation in Spinal Cord Injury (T11-L3)
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of Epidural Electrical Stimulation (EES) in restoring motor and sensory function in patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) at levels T11-L3, classified as ASIA B-D. The study aims to address the following key questions: Does EES lead …
Upper Extremity Training for Chronic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
This study is to understand how the combination of activity-based recovery training and targeted spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS) can improve participants' ability to use their hand, arms, and core.
At-Home Genital Nerve Stimulation for SCI Bowel
The purpose of this study is to test whether electrical stimulation of the skin in the pelvic area (near the genitals) can reduce the reflexes that cause bowel accidents in people with spinal cord injuries. Current bowel treatments either involve diet and medications or surgery. This study will evaluate whether …
