Efficacy of a Brain-Computer Interface Controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury Neurorehabilitation
The study's main goal is to determine the efficacy of a therapy with brain-computer interface controlled functional electrical stimulation for neurorehabilitation of spinal cord injury patients' upper limbs. For this purpose, a randomized controlled trial will be performed to compare the clinical and physiological effects of the brain-computer interface therapy …
Robot-assisted Vs. Conventional Occupational Therapy of the Upper Limb in Individuals with Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effects of robot-assisted therapy using the ArmeoSpring on upper limb function compared to conventional occupational therpay in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI). The main questions it aims to answer are: Which of the two forms of therapy, robot-assisted …
Epidural Stimulation After Neurologic Damage: Long-Term Outcomes
This study will evaluate the long-term effect of chronic spinal cord stimulation to restore volitional movement for patients with chronic spinal cord injuries.
Effect of tSCS on Ankle Movement Training in Individuals With SCI
This clinical trial explores the effectiveness of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS), a non-invasive technique, in facilitating spinal circuitry adaptation in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). While epidural spinal cord stimulation (eSCS) has shown functional benefits, its application is limited by the side effects associated with implanted electrodes. tSCS, …
TPAD for Recovery of Standing After Severe SCI
The purpose of this study is to investigate how standing and sitting balance control is altered after spinal cord injury (SCI) and how a new type of robotic assistive device may be used to improve muscle function. This device is called the Tethered Pelvic Assist Device, or TPAD. The main …
A Study of Andecaliximab in People With Spinal Cord Injury at Risk for Bone Growth Outside of the Normal Skeleton.
This is an open-label study of andecaliximab in participants at risk of developing bone where bone should not be, such as in muscle, tendons, and other soft tissues following traumatic spinal cord injury. The goal of this study is to assess the safety of andecaliximab, how much drug is in …
RESTORES Trial: RESToration Of Rehabilitative Function With Epidural Spinal Stimulation
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), being a devastating diagnosis, has little to no recovery which leads to a long-standing of debilitating impairment for affected patients. The National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) Neurosurgery team, together with our collaborators, will be embarking on a new clinical pilot trial named RESTORES: RESToration of Rehabilitative function …
A User-friendly, Non-invasive Neuro-orthosis That Restores Volitionally Controlled Grasp Functions for SCI Survivors With Tetraplegia
The goal of this pilot clinical study is to investigate the NeuroLife EMG-FES Sleeve System, a closed-loop approach to functional electrical stimulation, in adults (n=12) with chronic (>12 months) tetraplegia due to spinal cord injury. Briefly, the NeuroLife EMG-FES System is a completely non-invasive system (surface electrodes only, no implantable …
Feasibility and Safety of a Combined Augmented Reality and Functional Electrical Stimulation System
Cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI) can result in substantial loss of upper-limb function, with associated socio-economic impact on affected individuals and the healthcare system. Evidence suggests that non-invasive neuromodulation such as functional electrical stimulation (FES) therapy can contribute to regaining upper-limb function, which is a top priority for this population. …
NEUROwave - Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) in Acute Traumatic Complete (AIS A) and Incomplete (AIS B-D) Cross-sectional Lesions on Motor and Sensory Function Within Six Months After Injury
It has been hypothesized that there are two mechanisms of acute traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI): the primary mechanical damage and the secondary injury due to additional pathological processes initiated by the primary injury. Neurological damage due to laceration, contusion, distraction or compression of the spinal cord is called ''primary …
