Multisite Transspinal Stimulation for Augmenting Recovery in Spinal Cord Injury
A well-established rehabilitation strategy for improvements of standing and walking ability in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) is step training on a motorized treadmill with body weight support. A promising intervention is stimulation of the spinal cord through the skin (transspinal). No single intervention is likely to significantly improve …
SCI&U Peer Health Coaching Program for Individuals Newly Discharged From Inpatient Rehabilitation
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the online program and web-based platform for delivery of self-management services to people with spinal cord injury (SCI) called "SCI & U" can support transitions from hospital to the community after injury. Specifically, can providing support from trained peer health …
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 …
Hemodynamic Management Following Acute Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of various hemodynamic management strategies on functional neurologic outcomes and non-neurologic adverse events in the first 5 days following acute spinal cord injury (SCI). The hemodynamic management strategies assessed include targeting a mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) goal of 85-90 …
Study on Preliminary Safety and Efficacy of the ARC Therapy Using the ARC-IM Lumbar System to Support Mobility in People With Chronic Spinal Cord Injury (BoxSwitch)
The purpose of this pre-market clinical study is to assess the preliminary safety and efficacy of the ARC Therapy using the ARC-IM Lumbar System at supporting mobility in participants with chronic spinal cord injury. Only participants that have undergone the STIMO study (NCT02936453) will be proposed to exchange their currently …
Effect of Transauricular Vagal Stimulation on Cardiac Function After Spinal Cord Injury
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of transauricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) on cardiac autonomic functions in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).
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 …
Lower-Limb Exoskeleton Technology for Non-Ambulatory Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to compare two types of wearable lower-extremity exoskeletons -a self-balancing device lower-extremity exoskeleton and a user-balancing device lower-extremity exoskeleton-to better understand their effects on the physiological responses to walking and the user experience in people with spinal cord injury.
Safety and Feasibility of Intranasal Insulin in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to find out whether insulin, a drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, is safe when administered as a nasal spray (intranasally) to people who have experienced a spinal cord injury. While insulin nasal spray has been shown to be …
tSCS + UL Robotics Training in SCI Patients
This study is aimed to evaluate whether transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) can augment upper limb robotic training (ULRT) to improve functional mobility in participants with chronic spinal cord injuries. It also evaluates the impact of the tSCS+ULRT on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), compared to ULRT alone. This is …
