A Feasible Smart Upper Limb Rehabilitation Model for Patients With Stroke and Spinal Cord Injuries
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness of the developed application and exoskeleton robot devices for home-based training in stroke patients and patients with spinal cord injuries. The application that uses an Internet of Things (IoT) platform to enable remote monitoring of rehabilitation progress by clinical …
Outcomes Post Treatment: Impact on Motor Impairment of Sleep Efficiency in SCI (OPTIMISE SCI Trial)
This randomized clinical trial will compare three groups of individuals with cervical/thoracic, complete or incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) that will undergo: (i) early CPAP therapy in the management of moderate-to-severe sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) among adults at 6 weeks after SCI; (ii) delayed CPAP therapy in the management of …
CAN-PRIME: Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface for the Control of External Devices
The CAN-PRIME Study is to test the safety and functionality of Neuralink's N1 Implant and R1 Robot in people who have difficulty moving their arms and legs (tetraparesis or tetraplegia). The N1 Implant is a small, wireless device placed in the skull. It connects to tiny threads inserted into the …
Non-Invasive Neuromodulation for Upper Extremity Function in Spinal Cord Injury: A Crossover Trial
This study explores two promising therapies for restoring arm and hand function in people with chronic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), a condition that affects independence and quality of life. It will compare transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation and paired corticospinal-motoneuronal stimulation, both combined with rehabilitation. Using a crossover design, participants …
Hand and Arm Motor Recovery Via Non-invasive Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation After Stroke
The recovery from a stroke is often incomplete. It is the leading cause of acquired permanent disability in the adult population. Persistent functional loss of the hand and arm contributes significantly to disability. However, the current standard of care to treat hand and arm movements are inadequate. There is an …
Ultrasound for Quantifying Muscle Activation Elicited by Spinal Cord Stimulation and Functional Electrical Stimulation
Transcutaneous (non-invasive) spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has been shown to facilitate volitional motor activity in patients with spinal cord injury. tSCS is known to activate the same neural structures as invasive SCS, meaning it may have the potential for functional restoration without an expensive surgical implant. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) …
Spinal Cord Stimulation Combined With Physical Therapy in Post-Stroke Upper-Limb Motor Hemiparesis
This study plans to use systems that have been developed by Medtronic to investigate the use of cervical spinal cord stimulation to treat adults with upper limb hemiparesis resulting from a stroke. The spinal cord stimulation (SCS) will be combined with physical training to improve arm and hand motor control. …
Nerve Transfers Plus Electrical Stimulation to Improve Hand Function in Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this prospective observational study is to determine whether brief intraoperative electrical stimulation and temporary postoperative electrical stimulation improve motor and/or pain outcomes for patients with cervical spinal cord injury undergoing standard of care nerve transfer surgery to improve hand function. The main hypotheses include: Hypothesis #1: Brief …
Novel Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibitor for Neuropathic Pain in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of EC5026 in male and female patients with neuropathic pain due to traumatic or non-traumatic (degenerative) spinal cord injury. The main question it aims to answer is whether EC5026 is safe and well tolerated …
Non-invasive Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation To Restore Upper Extremity Function in Multiple Sclerosis
Current disease-modifying therapies for multiple sclerosis (MS) aim to prevent the development of new lesions; unfortunately, no current FDA-approved therapies promote central nervous system (CNS) repair mechanisms. Thus, strategies to promote functional recovery from lesion-related deficits in adults with MS remain an unmet need. This is a pilot study designed …
