Near-Infrared Imaging of Motor Imagery Effects in Spinal Cord Injury
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of motor imagery-based brain-computer interface (MI-BCI) technology in improving motor function among patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), as well as its impact on cortical motor area function across varying states. To achieve this, the study will implement …
Double Dose 4-AP on Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to test a strategy to potentiate functional recovery of lower limb motor function in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The FDA approved drug, Dalfampridine (4-AP). 4-AP will be used twice-daily in combination of Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) stimulation and STDP stimulation with limb training.
Home-Based Heat Therapy in Spinal Cord Injury to Improve Cardiovascular Health
The study is designed to investigate the effects of passive heat therapy on blood vessel health in 40 people (48 enrolled with attrition rate of 20%). Following an extensive set of vascular function tests, participants will engage in either a passive heat therapy intervention for 60 minutes, 4 times a …
A Novel Repetitive Synchronized Associative Stimulation Neuromodulation Approach for Spinal Cord Injury Patients
The purpose of this research is to explore the effect of magnetic stimulation to activate the brain, electrical spinal cord stimulation to activate spinal cord, and electrical muscle stimulation used to activate upper limb (arms), lower limb (legs) and trunk (stomach) muscles in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and …
A Novel Surgical Criteria for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy in Chinese Ethnicity
Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM) is an age-related irreversible degenerative disease predominantly affecting the elderly aged 50 and over. DCM is usually triggered by ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament or ossification of ligamentum flavum or prolapsed intervertebral disc over the cervical spine. Specific clinical signs characterized the presence of cervical …
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 …
Low Volume Nose Resistance Breathing Exercise With Incentive Spirometer in Patient With Cervical Spinal Cord Injuries
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining Low Volume Nose Resistance Breathing Exercises (LVNRBE) with Incentive Spirometry (IS) on respiratory outcomes in patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). Respiratory complications are a major concern in cervical SCI due to impaired respiratory muscle function, leading to …
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, …
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, …
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.
