Mild Intermittent Hypoxia and Its Multipronged Effect on Sleep Apnea
Mild intermittent hypoxia (IH) initiates sustained increases in chest wall and upper airway muscle activity in humans. This sustained increase is a form of respiratory plasticity known as long-term facilitation (LTF). Repeated daily exposure to mild IH that leads to the initiation of LTF of upper airway muscle activity could …
A Prospective Evaluation of Spinal Cord Induced Muscle Stimulation (MuscleSCS) for the Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain
This study is a prospective, multi-center study designed to compare the safety and efficacy of spinal cord induced muscle stimulation (MuscleSCS) for the treatment of chronic low back pain.
Neuropathic Pain and Operant Conditioning of Cutaneous Reflexes After SCI
The purpose of the second part of the study is to examine the effect of reflex training in the leg to decrease neuropathic pain. For this, the researchers are recruiting 15 individuals with neuropathic pain due to spinal cord injury to participate in the reflex training procedure. The study involves …
Evaluation of an Advanced Lower Extremity Neuroprostheses
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a surgically implanted functional electrical stimulation (FES) system to facilitate exercise, standing, stepping and/or balance in people with various degrees of paralysis.
Activating Spinal Circuits to Improve Walking, Balance, Strength, and Reduce Spasticity
For many people with spinal cord injury (SCI), the goal of walking is a high priority. There are many approaches available to restore walking function after SCI; however, these approaches often involve extensive rehabilitation training and access to facilities, qualified staff, and advanced technology that make practicing walking at home …
Return to Work for Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Type II Patients
A multicenter randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate whether the ability to work in Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Type II (PSPS-T2) patients after SCS implantation is different after a personalized biopsychosocial rehabilitation program specifically targeting return to work (RTW) compared with usual care.
Interest of a Musical Intervention on Stress Induced During Botulinum Toxin Injections in Spasticity (MUSIBOT)
Botulinum toxin (BT) injections are a painful treatment frequently used to treat spasticity following central neurological damage (stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, head trauma). Tolerance of injections varies from patient to patient. For most patients, the pain experienced during the injection is a major source of stress. Numerous clinical …
Dosing rTMS for Depression Post-SCI
Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide and is more commonly seen in individual's post-spinal cord injury (SCI) than in the general population. Depression post-SCI impacts an individuals' quality of life and recovery. It has been reported that among Veterans with an SCI, those without depression live longer than …
Research on Wireless Brain Implant System for General Control of External Devices
The clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the minimally invasive, wireless brain-machine interface system (WRS) in enabling general brain control of external devices, such as a cursor and other assistive technologies, for paralyzed and amputee patients. WRS integrates a high-throughput, ultra-flexible neural electrode with an extremely …
Comparing Digitally and Traditionally Made Ankle Foot Orthoses
The research is being done to compare two methods of creating AFOs: 1. The traditional method, which involves manually creating a mold from a plaster cast of the client's limb. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive; and 2. The newer method uses digital technology, such as 3D scanning and printing, to …
