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 …
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 …
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 …
Safety of Cultured Allogeneic Adult Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for SCI
This trial will study the safety and efficacy of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of Spinal Cord Injury.
Improving Adherence to Spinal Cord Injury Exercise Guidelines Using Smartphone Technology and E-coaching
The goal of this research is to increase physical activity among individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) through a customized, interactive smartphone-based health app and e-coaching using three phases: (1) leading focus groups of potential app users and clinicians to gain information regarding health apps preferences for optimal consumer …
Combination Therapy to Improve SCI Recovery.
The purpose of this study is to determine how combining bouts of low oxygen, transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation, and walking training may improve walking function for people with chronic spinal cord injury.
Ketogenic Diet to Improve Neuro-recovery
The purpose of this project is to determine if 5 weeks of ketogenic (KD, high-fat) diet vs. standard diet (SD) significantly improves motor and sensory function, glycemic function, and functional independence in patients with spinal cord injury.
BioFLO for Respiratory Recovery in SCI
Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) involves brief (1 min), repeated episodes (\~15) of breathing low oxygen air to stimulate spinal neuroplasticity. Animal and human studies show that AIH improves motor function after spinal cord injury, particularly with slightly increased carbon dioxide (hypercapnic AIH; AIHH) and task-specific training. Using a double blind …
Locomotor and Bladder Function in Individuals With Acute Spinal Cord Injury
The loss of movement and walking ability significantly affects quality of life after spinal cord injury. In addition, bladder dysfunction consistently ranks as one of the top disorders affecting quality of life after spinal cord injury. The overall objective of this study is to demonstrate that epidural stimulation may be …
The Effect of Probiotic and Prebiotic Supplementation on Gastrointestinal Health in Individuals With Chronic Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of probiotic and prebiotic supplementation in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury experiencing gastrointestinal complaints. The main questions this trail aims to answer are: what are the effects of the supplementation on gastrointestinal symptoms? what are the effects of …
