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.
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, …
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 …
SCIVAX: Biomarkers of Immune Dysfunction and Vaccine Responsiveness in Chronic SCI
The purpose of this observational research study is to better understand immune responses to vaccines against viruses (influenza or SARS-CoV2). The goal is to determine any differences in immune responses to vaccines in uninjured people and in people living with spinal cord injuries, who are typically at increased risk of …
Nerve Transfer Surgery to Restore Upper-limb Function After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this prospective, open label cohort study is to assess functional and motor outcomes in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury who have undergone nerve transfer surgery, with the goal of increasing upper limb function. We will also compare these outcomes to a cohort of similarly matched individuals …
Functional and Structural Changes in the Central Nervous System Following Spinal Cord Injury
Building on recent improvements, state-of-the-art functional MRI will be applied as an advanced diagnostic tool for the lumbosacral cord in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients to characterize the remaining neuronal activity of the motor and sensory neurons. Alterations in the activity pattern will reveal the effect upon task-related spinal cord …
