SCS Therapy for Patients With Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction After SCI
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in treating patients with urinary and bowel dysfunction after spinal cord injury (SCI). SCI is a highly disabling condition that can lead to sensory, motor, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction below the injury level. Neurogenic …
TPAD for Recovery of Standing After Severe SCI
The purpose of this study is to investigate how standing and sitting balance control is altered after spinal cord injury (SCI) and how a new type of robotic assistive device may be used to improve muscle function. This device is called the Tethered Pelvic Assist Device, or TPAD. The main …
Prospective Evaluation of Effectiveness and Safety of Closed-Loop Spinal Cord Stimulation in Treating Patients With Chronic Pelvic Pain
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective treatment for patients with chronic pelvic pain. The investigators will evaluate how safe and effective closed-loop spinal cord stimulation is in treating these patients; closed-loop spinal cord stimulation is a more novel method in delivering spinal cord stimulation that controls energy output of …
A Study of Andecaliximab in People With Spinal Cord Injury at Risk for Bone Growth Outside of the Normal Skeleton.
This is an open-label study of andecaliximab in participants at risk of developing bone where bone should not be, such as in muscle, tendons, and other soft tissues following traumatic spinal cord injury. The goal of this study is to assess the safety of andecaliximab, how much drug is in …
Feasibility and Safety of a Combined Augmented Reality and Functional Electrical Stimulation System
Cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI) can result in substantial loss of upper-limb function, with associated socio-economic impact on affected individuals and the healthcare system. Evidence suggests that non-invasive neuromodulation such as functional electrical stimulation (FES) therapy can contribute to regaining upper-limb function, which is a top priority for this population. …
RESTORES Trial: RESToration Of Rehabilitative Function With Epidural Spinal Stimulation
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), being a devastating diagnosis, has little to no recovery which leads to a long-standing of debilitating impairment for affected patients. The NNI Neurosurgery team, together with our collaborators, are expanding our recruitment from our pilot trial named RESTORES: RESToration of Rehabilitative function with Epidural Spinal Stimulation. …
Spinal Stimulation for Upper Extremity Recovery in the Home
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and tolerability of non-invasive spinal stimulation used in the home and/or community in combination with a functional home exercise program for the upper extremities (arm/hand function) as well as their combined impacts on changes in upper extremity function. The …
NEUROwave - Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) in Acute Traumatic Complete (AIS A) and Incomplete (AIS B-D) Cross-sectional Lesions on Motor and Sensory Function Within Six Months After Injury
It has been hypothesized that there are two mechanisms of acute traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI): the primary mechanical damage and the secondary injury due to additional pathological processes initiated by the primary injury. Neurological damage due to laceration, contusion, distraction or compression of the spinal cord is called ''primary …
Effects of Active Versus Passive Recharge Burst Spinal Cord Stimulation on Pain Experience in Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Type 2: a Multicenter Randomized Trial (BURST-RAP Study)
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has shown to be an effective treatment for patients with persistent spinal pain syndrome Type 2 (PSPS Type 2). The method used to deliver electrical charge in SCS is important. One such method is burst stimulation. Two variations of burst waveforms are currently in use: one …
European Multicentre Study of Human Spinal Cord Injury
Today there is accumulating evidence from animal experiments that regeneration can be induced after a spinal cord injury (SCI). Consequently in the near future, new therapeutic approaches to induce some regeneration will be included in the treatment of patients with SCI. The aim of this proposal is to provide the …
