Teriflunomide in HTLV-1 Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis
Background HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is a rare, progressive disease. It occurs in some people infected with the HTLV-1 virus. It leads to weakness in the lower limbs and other serious problems. It has no treatment. Teriflunomide is a drug used to treat multiple sclerosis. It reduces immune …
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 …
Effect of TMS on Neuropathic Pain for Patients With Sci
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of rTMS targeting the anterior cingulate cortex, another stimulation site that may be effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain, and to compare it with motor cortex stimulation.
Fall Prevention Among People With Spinal Cord Injury and Multiple Sclerosis Who Use Wheelchairs and Scooters
The research team is conducting a study to determine if a fall prevention program designed specifically for people who use wheelchairs and scooters can help people better prevent and manage falls compared to the standard of care. This study will compare two groups of participants: One group will use the …
Understanding and Enhancing Human Health and Movement
By doing this study, investigators hope to learn how electrical stimulation can improve human movement, biomechanics, and function and to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of an implanted electrical stimulation system after paralysis from spinal cord injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury.
Functional and Structural Changes in the Central Nervous System Following Spinal Cord Injury
Building on recent improvements, state-of-the-art functional MRI will be applied as an advanced diagnostic tool for the lumbosacral cord in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients to characterize the remaining neuronal activity of the motor and sensory neurons. Alterations in the activity pattern will reveal the effect upon task-related spinal cord …
Calcitonin Therapy on Incidence and Severity of Neuropathic Pain After Spinal Cord Injury
This prospective randomized double blinded study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of early pharmacologic intervention with calcitonin on the incidence or the severity of neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury
Locomotor Function Following Transcutaneous Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation in Individuals With Hemiplegic Stroke
This study has two interventional components, the first is a cross-over design and the second is a randomized control trial. Both will evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous (non-invasive) spinal cord stimulation on gait and balance function for individuals with hemiplegia due to stroke.
Safety of Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation Potentiating Recovery in Acute Spinal Cord Injury Syndromes
The goal of this study is to test whether electrical stimulation from the skin surface starting 3 days after spinal cord injury (SCI) is safe and may help patients recover their movement. The main questions it aims to answer are: is starting electrical stimulation 3 days post SCI safe? can …
Nerve Transfer Surgery to Restore Upper-limb Function After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this prospective, open-label cohort study is to assess functional outcomes in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury who have undergone nerve transfer surgery to restore upper limb function. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does nerve transfer improve hand function in individuals with cervical spinal …
