Effect of Three Training Programs on the Cardiovascular Condition of Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
Objective: Describe the effect of different aerobic training programs on the autonomic nervous system (ANS), cardiovascular condition, body composition, metabolic profile, movement and functional independence in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Design: Randomized clinical trial Participants: Individuals in the chronic phase of SCI. Interventions: Three training programs: continuous aerobic …
mSCI: Mobile Health App for Veterans With SCI and Caregivers
Caregivers of persons with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) face increased risk of psychological distress, health problems, reduced quality of life, relationship strain, and restrictions in social and work participation. Military caregivers (Family Caregivers of wounded or disabled Veterans) reported similar negative effects of becoming a caregiver on their physical and …
Harnessing Neuroplasticity of Postural Sensorimotor Networks Using Non-Invasive Spinal Neuromodulation to Maximize Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury
It has been demonstrated that the human lumbosacral spinal cord can be neuromodulated with epidural (ESS) and transcutaneous (TSS) spinal cord stimulation to enable recovery of standing and volitional control of the lower limbs after complete motor paralysis due to spinal cord injury (SCI). The work proposed herein will examine …
Evaluating Safety and Feasibility of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Following Traumatic and Non-Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Study
The study will be a non-randomized, non-blinded pilot study to analyze the safety and feasibility of a non-significant risk device, transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. The aim is to include 30 total patients, 10 patients in each of 3 groups: Non-traumatic spinal cord injury (ntSCI) with diagnosis of degenerative cervical myelopathy …
Spinal Decompression Plus Nerve Graft Implantation Following TSCI
This is a single-blinded (with outcome assessors blinded to treatment allocation), 12-month pilot study to evaluate of the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of dorsal myelotomy and expansive duraplasty performed either without or with autologous nerve graft implantation after acute traumatic spinal cord injury. Ten participants will be allocated to …
Recording of Intraoperative Spinal Cord Stimulation and Monitoring
Opioid overdose suppresses brainstem respiratory circuits, causes apnea, and may result in death. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) at the cervical spinal cord facilitated motor activity in rodents and humans, and we hypothesized that EES of the cervical spinal cord could antagonize opioid-induced respiratory depression in humans. In this study, we …
Neurostimulation for Respiratory Function After Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the connections between the brain, nerves, and diaphragm after experiencing a cervical spinal cord injury (SCI).The main question it aims to answer is: Changes in respiratory function and recovery using stimulation and respiratory exercise training in spinal cord-injured individuals. …
Brown Adipose Tissue Activation by Spinal Cord Stimulation
The objective of this study is to investigate and utilize spinal cord stimulation (SCS) as an effective approach to eliciting weight loss and potentially alleviating Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), as evidenced by increasing metabolism of adipose tissue.
Deciphering Preserved Autonomic Function After Spinal Cord Injury
This study looks to characterize gradients of dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system after spinal cord injury. The autonomic nervous system plays key roles in regulation of blood pressure, skin blood flow, and bladder health- all issues that individuals with spinal cord injury typically suffer. Focusing on blood pressure regulation, …
Systemic Hypothermia in Acute Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
This study is a prospective multi-center trial designed to determine the safety profile and efficacy of modest (33ºC) intravascular hypothermia following acute cervical (C1 to C8) Spinal Cord Injury (SCI).
