Individualised Cryoneurolysis to Treat Pain in the Context of Spasticity in the Upper and Lower Extremities
Spasticity is an umbrella term for impairments of muscle tone and control in people with damage to the brain and spinal cord. It is highly prevalent and results in pain, stiffness, and contribute to difficulties in activities of daily living. Current treatment options are limited, and many people experience only …
ZEPU-AI Series Limb Feedback Robot Training Study (ZEPUAISRCT)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether robotic rehabilitation devices (ZEPU-AI2, AI4, AI6 Plus, and AI7A) are feasible, safe, and effective for adults with upper or lower limb motor problems. These problems can result from stroke, incomplete spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or orthopedic surgery. The …
Severe Chronic Neuropathic Pain: A Treatment Bundle, Using Spinal Cord Stimulation and Multidisciplinary Treatment, to Reduce Pain and Improve Physical Function.
People with nerve damage can develop nerve pain. The pain can sometimes be severe and unpredictable, causing odd or alarming sensations - for example, lightning-like or electric shock feelings in the area served by the damaged nerve. The investigators will examine a treatment for nerve pain in the legs caused …
Laminoplasty for Multilevel Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy Guided by Modified K-line and Modified SC-line in MRI
This study intended to investigate the combined Impact of mK-line and mSC-line on the selection of the surgical approach and whether could be used to predict sufficient decompression of cervical spinal cord and clinical outcome in patients after LAMP.
BrainGate2: Feasibility Study of an Intracortical Neural Interface System for Persons With Tetraplegia
The purpose of this study is to obtain preliminary device safety information and demonstrate proof of principle (feasibility) of the ability of people with tetraplegia to control a computer cursor and other assistive devices with their thoughts.
Interfacing With NeuroTechnology to Expand Neural Throughput (INTENT)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of an implantable device that records and stimulates different areas of the brain to allow adults affected by disabling paralysis (see Eligibility for more details) to control and receive feedback from assistive devices.
Analysis of Selected Biochemical Parameters in Cerebrospinal Fluid and Peripheral Blood in the Treatment of Neuropathic Pain Using Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)
This project aims to identify key cells and molecules involved in the development and modulation of neuropathic pain treated with spinal cord stimulation (SCS). By measuring concentrations of selected inflammatory mediators and signaling molecules (e.g., IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, IL-33, BDNF, VEGF, GABA) in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of …
Patient Preference and Long-term Outcomes in Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome: A Prospective Study Comparing Spinal Cord Stimulation to Intrathecal Drug Delivery.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) or intrathecal drug delivery (pain pump) can be effective in providing pain relief for patients with low back pain who have not responded to other treatments. While both treatments, SCS and pain pump, may help with low back pain relief, it is not known which treatment …
AIM's Writing for Healing: A Workshop for Individuals Living With Paralysis
The UAB Institute for Arts In Medicine (AIM) is currently implementing an expressive emotional writing pilot project for adults with paralysis caused by neurological conditions such as traumatic head or spinal cord injury.
Differential Assessment of Hypertonia
Spasticity and rigidity are common symptoms of central nervous system injuries, such as spinal cord injury and Parkinson's disease, and result in distinct patterns of increased resistance during passive joint movements. Spasticity is characterized by a velocity-dependent increase in stretch reflexes, accompanied by exaggerated tendon responses, while rigidity is marked …
