"SCRIBBLE" Spinal Cord Injury Blood Biomarker Longitudinal Evaluation
Prospective, single center study designed to assess blood biomarkers for classifying injury severity and predict neurologic recovery in traumatic spinal cord injured (SCI) patients. Study will also establish the accuracy of point to care devices for SCI blood biomarkers and support the biospecimen collection for the International Spinal Cord Injury …
ALS Spinal Cord Gray and White Matter Study
This study aims to measure in vivo the spinal cord gray and white matter in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and healthy persons that match the patients' age and sex using rAMIRA imaging, a novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) method. Patients and healthy control persons prospectively undergo MRI examinations, clinical …
Impact of Gut Microbiome on Metabolic and Bowel Function During the First Year After Spinal Cord Injury
The Investigators will recruit 50 participants with acute SCI (within 72 hours of injury) Fasting blood collection and bowel function survey will be conducted 4 times: at baseline [the time of first stool sample, within 72 hours of injury] and 1, 6, and 12 months after SCI. Stool will be …
Neuronal Activation Accuracy in Closed-loop Spinal Cord Stimulation
Observational, prospective, single-center to assess neuronal activation accuracy and stimulation sensation in patients with closed-loop spinal cord stimulation therapy.
Psychological Assessment in Patients Treated with Spinal Cord Stimulation
This is a prospective observational study to investigate the impact of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) procedure in chronic pain perception and management. Patients' psychological status at different time points and its correlation with pain outcomes and satisfaction with the SCS intervention will be also evaluated. The primary aim is to …
Study of Brain-spinal Cord Neural Connectivity in Spasticity
Little is known about the peripheral and central mechanisms of action of selective dorsal rhizotomy surgery for the treatment of spasticity. A better understanding of these mechanisms will enable us to improve the surgical procedure. This will require cortico-medullo-radiculo-muscular recordings never before performed and published in the literature, and the …
Proprioceptive Deficits in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy
Proprioceptive deficits in degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a progressive neurological deficits in somatosensory and motor function which affects the body balance and motor control. DCM usually presents with body incoordination, hand clumsiness and gait disturbance associated with proprioceptive dysfunction that hinders the physical performance and functions. In this study, …
Autonomic Dysreflexia in Spinal Cord Injuries: UDS Filling Speed Impact
In patients with spinal cord injury, the investigators want to understand and understand the differences in AD prevalence and characteristics according to bladder injection rate, and to determine which factors have a greater influence between bladder expansion or injection rate.
Pain Phenotyping in Patients With Neuropathic Pain After Spinal Cord Injury
The development of neuropathic pain is one of the most debilitating sequels after a spinal cord injury (SCI). The overall aim of this study is to investigate potential underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of neuropathic pain after SCI. The functionality of the nociceptive pathway in humans as well as its plastic changes …
Urine Incontinence Occurrence and Sexual Hormones in Women With Chronic Spinal Cord Injury/Disease - a Pilot Study
There is a knowledge gap about the influence of the menstrual cycle on bladder function in women with spinal cord injury. So far, studies regarding urinary incontinence have primarily focused on women after menopause. It has become clear that a lack of the sex hormone estrogen, which occurs after menopause, …
