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 …
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).
Intraspinal Pressure Monitoring for Acute Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: A Validation Study
Intraspinal pressure monitoring has been advanced as a potential technique for evaluating spinal cord perfusion after traumatic spinal cord injury. In this study, the investigators aim to validate the technique for insertion of a fiberoptic pressure monitoring device in the subarachnoid space at the site of injury for measurement of …
Below the Belt: Non-invasive Neuromodulation to Treat Bladder, Bowel, and Sexual Dysfunction Following Spinal Cord Injury
Recent findings have demonstrated that electrical stimulation to the spinal cord (i.e. implanted electrodes) can significantly recover bladder, bowel, and sexual function after injury. While promising, a major drawback is that individuals must undergo a highly invasive and expensive surgical procedure to implant the stimulator on top of the spinal …
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, …
Early Intervention for Information Processing Speed Deficits in Acute SCI: A Pilot Study
This study seeks to conduct a pilot study to test whether a cognitive training program can improve processing speed abilities in individuals with acute traumatic spinal cord injury.
A Pilot RCT to Improve Cognitive Processing Speed in Acute SCI
This study seeks conduct a pilot study to test whether a cognitive training program can improve processing speed abilities in individuals with acute traumatic spinal cord injury.
Telenutrition for Individuals With SCI
This study will provide nutrition counseling via FaceTime on an iPad to persons with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) who are overweight or obese and are at least one-year post-injury. Nutrition counseling may help participants to develop eating behaviors that match the participants' needs and help improve heart health. The …
Pilot Study on EEG and Behavioral Effects of Two Different Treatments on Sexual Life
In this study patients with Multiple Sclerosis or Spinal Lesions will participate in two different types of treatments that aim to improve sexual and sentimental life. Behavioral (via questionnaires) and brain (via high-density electroencephalogram) effects associated with treatment will be studied.
Operant Conditioning of Spinal Reflexes Training System--Reflex Operant Down Conditioning
The purpose of this study is to validate the capacity of a reflex training system to change the size of the targeted reflex. For this, the researchers are recruiting 25 individuals with chronic incomplete SCI who have spasticity in the leg to participate in the reflex training procedure. The study …
