Chronic Transcutaneous Stimulation to Promote Motor Function and Recovery in Individuals With Paralysis or Paresis
This is an early feasibility trial to determine whether transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation, with or without transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation, using an investigational neurostimulation device improves functional arm/hand movements in individuals with paralysis or paresis due to a spinal cord injury or stroke and improves functional arm/hand or leg/foot movements …
The Utilization Effects of Powered Wearable Orthotics in Improving Upper Extremity Function and ADL in Persons With SCI
To evaluate the usefulness of an upper extremity assistive device, called (MyoPro) in improving upper extremity activities in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. The Department of Defense is supporting this study.
Comparing Upper Limb Surgery and Botulinum Toxin for Spasticity: A Paired Design Study
Spasticity is a common complication following central nervous system injuries. Left untreated, spasticity can lead to various complications, hindering activities of daily living and diminishing independence. Spasticity affecting the hand is particularly debilitating because it prevents prehension and grasp, which are critical factors for the ability to perform activities of …
Study of Individualized, Precise and Standardized Cervical Open-door Surgery for Cervical Spinal Stenosis
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of individualized, precise and standardized open-door posterior cervical surgery through a single-center, exploratory clinical study, so as to provide a more reliable basis for the treatment of cervical spinal stenosis.
Evaluating Long-term Use of a Pediatric Robotic Exoskeleton (P.REX/Agilik) to Improve Gait in Children With Movement Disorders
Background People with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, or spinal cord injury often have muscle weakness and problems controlling how their legs move. This can affect how they walk. The NIH has designed a robotic device (exoskeleton) that can be worn on the legs while walking. The wearable robot …
Can Prophylactic Foraminotomy Prevent C5 Palsy
C5 palsy (C5P) is a well-known, although rare complication of cervical spine decompression surgery. In severe forms, C5P causes debilitating upper extremity weakness involving the deltoids and/or biceps brachii muscles, ultimately diminishing these patients' quality of life. Furthermore, about half of patients with C5P present with sensory deficits and/or intractable …
Exciflex for Chronic Wound Therapy
Objectives: The study objective is to carry a pilot clinical assessment comparing the exciflex bandage to standard of care (SoC) for ischemic wounds and will involve participants who are Veterans with lower extremity ischemic wounds. Research Plan: The study will employ a randomized repeated measures design to assess the therapeutic …
Intravesical Lactobacillus Crispatus: Clinical Safety and Microbiome Evaluation
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether Lactobacillus crispatus strains isolated from the lower urinary tracts of adult women can be used as an antibiotic-sparing treatment for urinary symptoms and urinary tract infection (UTI) among adults with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). The main question\[s\] it …
Nomad P-KAFO Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of using the Nomad powered KAFO in people who have had a musculoskeletal or neurological injury that has affected their ability to walk. The main questions it aims to answer are to quantify the effectiveness of the Nomad in …
The Effect of Targeting the Plantaris Muscle-tendon in Surgical Correction of Ankle Equinus in Children
Tight ankle muscles can produce ankle equinus (limited ability to pull the foot upward) and occur often in children, significantly impacting their ability to walk. If not treated, children with ankle equinus frequently experience reduced function and long-term foot problems, such as pain. Currently, treatment options include surgery or Botulinum …
