Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Low Back Pain
As a leading cause of disability worldwide, chronic low back pain (cLBP) represents a significant medical and socioeconomic problem with estimated health care spending of $87 billion/annually. The efficacy of dorsal column electrical stimulation to inhibit pain was first described over 50 years ago. Since then, several large clinical trials …
The Teaspoon Study - Telefitting Spinal Cord Stimulation for Pain
Spinal cord stimulation modulates the nervous system to effectively block pain signals originating from the back and legs. Spinal cord stimulation has been shown to improve chronic pain, improve quality of life, and reduce disability. Unfortunately, spinal cord stimulation has a high trial failure rate and a high long-term failure …
Vibrant Capsule for Spinal Cord Injury Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction
The goal of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of Vibrant capsules in spinal cord injury patients with neurogenic bowel.
Bacteriophage Therapy in Spinal Cord Injury Patients With Bacteriuria
This is a Phase 1b study to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of investigational phage therapy (IP) in adults with SCI and bladder colonization (ASB). It is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in adults with SCI with neurogenic bladders and bacteriuria who use indwelling catheters, or who …
Targeting Cervical Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation for Functional Recovery
The proposed study seeks to understand how the cervical spinal cord should be stimulated after injury through short-term physiology experiments that will inform a preclinical efficacy trial. The purpose of this study is to determine which cervical levels epidural electrical stimulation (EES) should target to recruit arm and hand muscles …
Testosterone Deficiency and Endothelial Dysfunction After Spinal Cord Injury
Heart attacks and strokes are among the most common causes of premature death in individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI) and appear to occur earlier in life. The factors that lead to the heighten and accelerated risk of heart attacks and strokes in adults living with SCI remain poorly …
Wrist Extensor MEP Up-conditioning for Individuals With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between common clinical assessments and measurements of the function of brain-spinal cord-muscle connections, and to examine the effects of training a brain-spinal cord-muscle response in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury. A transcranial magnetic stimulator (TMS) is used for examining …
MyHand-SCI: An Active Hand Orthosis for Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to develop and test the hardware and software components of the MyHand-SCI device to assist with hand function for individuals with C6-C7 spinal cord injury.
Treating Central Neuropathic Pain With Low Dose Naltrexone for People With Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to find out how well low dose naltrexone works for people with pain due to spinal cord injury. The main questions it aims to answer are: will low dose naltrexone reduce pain, and increase the quality of life for people with central …
ARC-IM System to Manage Symptomatic Blood Pressure Instability Secondary to Chronic Spinal Cord Injury
Empower BP is a pivotal, interventional, multicenter, prospective, randomized, sham-controlled double-blinded study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ARC-IM System in managing symptomatic blood pressure instability in individuals with chronic SCI (\>1 year after SCI). The primary effectiveness outcome will be evaluated through subject-reported ADFSCI and seated blood …
