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 …
Psychological Assessment in Patients Treated with Spinal Cord Stimulation
This is a prospective observational study to investigate the impact of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) procedure in chronic pain perception and management. Patients' psychological status at different time points and its correlation with pain outcomes and satisfaction with the SCS intervention will be also evaluated. The primary aim is to …
Study of Brain-spinal Cord Neural Connectivity in Spasticity
Little is known about the peripheral and central mechanisms of action of selective dorsal rhizotomy surgery for the treatment of spasticity. A better understanding of these mechanisms will enable us to improve the surgical procedure. This will require cortico-medullo-radiculo-muscular recordings never before performed and published in the literature, and the …
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 …
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.
ARC-IM System to Manage Symptomatic Blood Pressure Instability Secondary to Chronic Spinal Cord Injury
Empower BP is a pivotal, interventional, multicenter, prospective, randomized, 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 …
Virtual Peer Coaching in Manual Wheelchair Skills
The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of remote manual wheelchair skills training program. First, peer coaches will be enrolled and trained. Then, trainees will be enrolled into one of three interventions: intervention with remote feedback (Group 1), and a wait list control group (Group 2).
FES Cycling With BFR in the Spinal Cord Injury Population
Cardiometabolic Disease (CMD) is the silent killer within the spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D) population. Many SCI/D patients' initial CMD presentation is with a heart attack, stroke, or sudden cardiac death, highlighting the need for interventions to reduce CMD risk. CMD contributes to 46% of deaths, with 30-50% of the SCI/D …
