Synergistic Effect of Non-invasive Brain and Spinal Cord Stimulation
The goal of this clinical study is to investigate the potential synergy between non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation administered during a cognitive-motor task, in terms of their immediate effects on sensorimotor and cognitive functions after neurological injuries affecting the upper limb (cervical spinal cord injury and stroke). Secondary objectives …
Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation for Lower-limb Impairment in Adrenomyeloneuropathy
Adrenal spinal neuropathy (AMN) is a rare X-linked genetic disease caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene, and belongs to a special type of adrenal leukodystrophy. The patient's lower limb strength is weakened, the range of motion of the ankle joint is reduced, the hip flexors are weak and affect …
Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation for Respiratory Recovery in Cervical SCI
This multicenter, single-arm exploratory IIT evaluates epidural spinal cord electrical stimulation (ESCES) in 20 adults with C1-C5 SCI and respiratory failure. Participants receive ESCES plus standard care; electrodes are implanted at C3-C5 with daily individualized stimulation. Primary outcomes: Edi peak, change of Edi peak and frequency. Secondary: tidal volume, maximal …
Mild Intermittent Hypoxia: A Prophylactic for Autonomic Dysfunction in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injuries
The prevalence of autonomic dysfunction and sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is increased in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The loss of autonomic control results in autonomic dysreflexia (AD) and orthostatic hypotension (OH) which explains the increase in cardiovascular related mortality in these Veterans. There is no effective prophylaxis for …
Endothelial Dysfunction After SCI
This study plans to learn how endothelial cells, single cell lining of blood vessels may be dysfunctional after a spinal cord injury. Endothelial dysfunction will be measured by the capacity of blood vessels to vasodilate (increase in size) and alter blood flow is lower in adults with a spinal cord …
The Impact of Expressive Emotional Writing on Facilitating Grief Resolution in Adults With Spinal Cord Injury
The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic benefits of a 10-week online coach-guided EEWP on psychosocial health among adults with SCI.
The Effectiveness of Transcutaneous Sacral Neuromodulation Techniques-Magnetic Stimulation and Electrical Stimulation-on Detrusor Overactivity in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this prospective, randomized clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of transcutaneous sacral magnetic stimulation versus sacral electrical stimulation for detrusor overactivity in 40 male and female patients aged 18-65 with suprasacral Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) whose DOA is confirmed by urodynamics and is refractory …
Effect of Urethral Balloon Dilatation on Urinary Retention After Spinal Cord Injury
Trial Objectives: This clinical trial aims to explore whether ultrasound - guided urethral balloon dilation can effectively improve the micturition function of patients with urinary retention after spinal cord injury, and to evaluate the safety of this treatment method. The main questions it attempts to answer are: Can ultrasound - …
BCI-Assisted SCS-EXS for Gait Optimization
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and technical feasibility of a novel brain-machine interface (BCI)-assisted spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and exoskeleton (EXS) system in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). The primary aim is to determine whether the BCI-SCS-EXS system can safely and effectively improve …
Safety, Feasibility, and Efficacy of TSCS on Stabilizing Blood Pressure for Acute Inpatients With SCI
Current forms of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments for hypotension and orthostatic hypotension (OH) remain inadequate during acute inpatient rehabilitation (AIR) following a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). A critical need exists for the identification of safe, practical, and effective treatment options that stabilize blood pressure (BP) after traumatic SCI. Recent …
