A Pilot RCT to Improve Cognitive Processing Speed in Acute SCI
This study seeks conduct a pilot study to test whether a cognitive training program can improve processing speed abilities in individuals with acute traumatic spinal cord injury.
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy in Spinal Cord Injury Related Neuropathic Pain
The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of different protocols of high-frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) therapy added to the rehabilitation program on neuropathic pain,depression, quality of life and quality of sleep compared to each other and placebo group in participants with spinal cord injury.
Utility of Multisensory Body-Representation in Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) With Pain
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of bodily illusions combined with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on neuropathic pain symptoms and sensory functions in participants with spinal cord injury (SCI) and neuropathic pain.
Infrared Images for Spinal Cord Stimulation in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Patients
The goal of this observational study is to compare thermal camera Forward Looking InfraRed (FLIR) images before and after spinal cord stimulation to evaluate the difference in sympathetic activity of the affected limb in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Question …
Mechanisms and Outcome-Prognostication for Paresthesia-based and -Free Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) relies on stimulation of pain-relieving pathways in the spinal cord to treat chronic neuropathic pain. Traditional paresthesia-based SCS (PB-SCS) relies on providing analgesia through stimulation of spinal cord dorsal columns but it is often associated with attenuation of analgesic benefit and lack of acceptance of paresthesias. …
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 …
Telenutrition for Individuals With SCI
This study will provide nutrition counseling via FaceTime on an iPad to persons with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) who are overweight or obese and are at least one-year post-injury. Nutrition counseling may help participants to develop eating behaviors that match the participants' needs and help improve heart health. The …
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 …
