Phenotyping Response to Spinal Cord Stimulation in Chronic Low Back Pain
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a debilitating condition and costly to treat. Long-term drug treatment often fails due to habituation, breakthrough of pain, or adverse effects of drug treatment. Opioid use to manage this pain has contributed to the opioid epidemic. Spinal cord stimulators have emerged as a promising …
Virtual Walking Therapy for Neuropathic Pain Following Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to determine if playing a virtual reality walking game can help improve neuropathic pain in adults with incomplete spinal cord injury.
Novel Stimulation Patterns to Improve the Effectiveness of Spinal Cord Stimulation
The goal of this study is to compare pain outcomes achieved by spinal cord stimulation (SCS) using time varying stimulation patterns with pain outcomes achieved by current standard of care SCS.
Local Cerebral Oxygenation in Chronic Pain Patients Utilizing Spinal Cord Stimulation
The primary objective of the study is to determine changes in cerebral nociceptive hemodynamic response (blood oxygenation/flow) before, during and following spinal cord stimulation (SCS). Objective measurements of cerebral nociceptive hemodynamic responses will be obtained with the CereVu sensor and ROPA system and will be analyzed offline and compared against …
Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound in the Treatment of Acute Spinal Cord Injury
Patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) often suffer from spinal cord swelling inside the thecal sac, which contains the spinal cord and surrounding fluid, leading to increased pressure on the spinal cord tissue and decreased spinal cord blood flow at the site of injury. The combination of increased pressure …
Neurophysiological Effects of Medication Tapering During Treatment With Spinal Cord Stimulation
This study is being conducted in patients who will receive a spinal cord stimulator. This device helps manage chronic neuropathic pain in the trunk and/or limbs. The patients will receive a spinal cord stimulator that is available, notified, and reimbursed in Belgium, which uses a special technology automatically adjusting the …
Feasibility of the BrainGate2 Neural Interface System in Persons With Tetraplegia (BG-Tablet-01)
People with brainstem stroke, advanced amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease), or other disorders can become unable to move or speak despite being awake and alert. In this project, the investigators seek to further translate knowledge about interpreting brain signals related to movement, and to further …
Combining Spinal Cord Transcutaneous Stimulation and Activity-based Training in Inpatient Rehabilitation to Facilitate Upper Limb Function of Individuals with Acute to Subacute Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand the safety and practicality of using spinal cord transcutaneous (through the skin) stimulation in an inpatient setting as well as how the combination of activity-based training (ABT) and spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS) can improve participants' ability to use their hands, …
Intravesical LGG VS Saline Bladder Wash RCT
This is the first ever comparative effectiveness study of an antibiotic-sparing novel self-management intervention to prevent complicated urinary tract infection (UTI).
A Neuroprosthesis for Seated Posture and Balance
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a surgically implanted functional electrical stimulation (FES) system to facilitate stability of the trunk and hips. FES involves applying small electric currents to the nerves, which cause the muscles to contract. This study evaluates how stabilizing and stiffening the trunk with FES …
