Hypoxia Pathways for Early Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts neural pathways to respiratory motor neurons, diminishing breathing capacity and airway defense (e.g., cough). Indeed, respiratory impairment is a leading cause of infection, re-hospitalization and death after SCI. There is a critical need for new strategies to restore breathing ability and airway defense in people …
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).
Self-Management Program for AIS D SCI
About 25-51% of adults with acquired spinal cord injury (SCI) have "AIS D" SCI, the lowest severity grade of neurologic injury. Veterans with AIS D SCI generally have better outcomes in mobility, community integration, and employment. However, counterintuitively, they are also at higher risk of poor subjective well-being (SWB) and …
Epidural Electrical Stimulation for Spinal Cord Injury Patients and Corticospinal Motor Circuit Improvement
The study aims to examine the plausible interventional mechanisms underlying the effects of epidural spinal cord stimulation.
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 …
Exploring the Benefits of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training on Bladder, Bowel, and Sexual Function in People with Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this trial is to learn about the feasibility and benefits of delivering a pelvic floor muscle training program to people with motor-incomplete spinal cord injury. The main questions it aims to answer are: To evaluate the feasibility of delivering a pelvic floor muscle training program to people …
Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Combined With Arm Bike for Cardiovascular Recovery in SCI
Spinal cord injury (SCI) can make it hard for the body to self-regulate some of its automatic functions like blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate. This can also make it hard for those living with SCI to exercise or complete their usual daily activities. The goal of this randomized trial …
Neural Plasticity and Motor Recovery After Early and Intensive Upper Extremity Motor Training in People with C-SCI
After spinal cord injury (SCI), there is a disruption in neural circuits resulting in paralysis. There is not yet a cure for paralysis. In persons with Cervical SCI (pwC-SCI) recovery of arm-hand function is very important as it has a significant impact on the patients' level of independence and quality …
MEP Up-conditioning to Target Corticospinal Plasticity
Individuals with chronic cervical spinal cord injury will complete a 10-week training protocol where participants receive non-invasive brain stimulation and feedback on the size of the corresponding muscle response (wrist extensor). Investigators will assess the impact of the brain stimulation training on 1) the brain-to-spinal cord-to-muscle connection and 2) motor …
