Spasticity in SCI Following Acute Intermittent Hypoxia
This study aims to observe the effects of administration of a breathing intervention (Acute Intermittent Hypoxia (AIH)) on spasticity (tightness) in individuals with incomplete Spinal Cord Injury. It is hypothesized that hypoxia will decrease the reflex threshold of the biceps brachii, indicating an increase in spasticity following the AIH.
Assessment of the Efficacy and Safety of EESS in Patients With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries
Neurological disability caused by traumatic lesions of the spinal cord is a significant challenge for medicine and society. These lesions, leading to sublesional central nervous system dysfunction, include sensorimotor, vesico-sphincter and genito-sexual disorders. To date, there is no treatment that enables spinal cord function to be restored. Preclinical studies have …
Improving Heart Health in Individuals With SCI Using Home-Based Virtual Gaming
What is the ultimate applicability of the research? Individuals with SCI face several challenges when trying to engage in exercise following injury. Barriers to engagement include cost, transportation, and lack of SCI accessible resources. At the same time, individuals with SCI are at risk of developing negative health consequences (e.g., …
Exoskeleton Training at Home to Assist Participants With Spinal Cord Injuries to Perform Ambulatory Functions.
The goal of this clinical trial is to to confirm the safety and performance of the ABLE Daily to perform ambulatory functions in home and community settings for people with spinal cord injury. The experimental period will cover the training period with the ABLE Daily exoskeleton (3 weeks of use …
Hybrid HIIT-FES Cycling Program on Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury to Improve Health
Project Summary/Abstract Obesity and metabolic syndrome (obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension) are epidemic in the spinal cord injured (SCI) population. A recent study assessing the body composition and metabolic syndrome rates of 72 motor complete chronic SCI individuals revealed an obesity rate of over 90% and a metabolic syndrome rate of …
Spinal Neurorehabilitation for Veterans With SCI
Chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a debilitating disorder in Veterans and the broader U.S. population that does not have a cure. Veterans with severe SCI demonstrate permanent loss of sensory and motor function below their injury resulting in decreased quality of life and independence. Recently, electrical spinal neuromodulation has …
Augmenting Rehabilitation Outcomes and Functional Neuroplasticity Using Epidural Stimulation of Cervical Spinal Cord
The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of cervical epidural spinal stimulation with upper extremity training. This is an investigational study. The device used for epidural spinal stimulation (ESS) to deliver spinal stimulation is called the CoverEdgeX 32 Surgical Lead system. This device is approved by the …
First-in-Human Clinical Trial of STUP-001, an In Vivo Direct Cell Conversion Gene Therapy for AIS-A/B Chronic Spinal Cord Injury
This study aim to investigate the safety and exploratory efficacy of STUP-001 which is AAV-based spinal cord injury investigational product.
ARC-IM Therapy To Support and Promote Recovery of Ambulatory Functions in People With Subacute and Chronic Spinal Cord Injury
The EIGER study aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of ARC-IM Therapy (Epidural Electrical Stimulation) to support and promote recovery of ambulatory functions, such as walking, in people with subacute and chronic spinal cord injury.
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 …
