AIH for Spinal Cord Repair
Contusive cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI) impairs upper limb function (reach-and-grasp) which limits daily-life activities and thus decreases the quality of life. Promoting neuroplasticity may support upper limb recovery after SCI. Repetitive exposure to acute intermittent hypoxia (rAIH) combined with motor training promotes recovery of motor function after SCI; however, …
Spinal Cord Stimulation and Training
This study will help the investigators better understand the changes in short-term excitability and long-term plasticity of corticospinal, reticulospinal and spinal neural circuits and how the changes impact the improvements of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) mediated motor function.
Effects of Spinal Cord Stimulation
The goal of this interventional study is to test effects of spinal cord stimulation in patients receiving treatment for their chronic pain. The main question of the study is: • What is the effect of spinal cord stimulation when compared to placebo? Participants will rate their pain with their usual …
Spinal Cord Injury Neurorecovery Collaboration
SCINC is an adaptive design Master protocol that seeks to determine if there is "sufficient promise" of beneficial effect of treatment combinations to enhance motor recovery in pre-specified strata of people with a spinal cord injury.
Locomotor Training With Testosterone to Promote Bone and Muscle Health After Spinal Cord Injury
This pilot study will determine the feasibility of implementing a combinatory rehabilitation strategy involving testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with locomotor training (LT; walking on a treadmill with assistance and overground walking) in men with testosterone deficiency and walking dysfunction after incomplete or complete spinal cord injury. The investigators hypothesize that …
Brain Controlled Spinal Cord Stimulation in Participants with Spinal Cord Injury for Lower Limb Rehabilitation
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the preliminary safety and effectiveness of using a cortical recording device (ECoG) combined with lumbar targeted epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the spinal cord to restore voluntary motor functions of lower limbs in participants with chronic spinal cord injury suffering from …
Rehabilitation Combining Spatiotemporal Spinal Cord Stimulation and Real-time Triggering Exoskeleton After Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) can be caused by trauma, inflammation, tumors, and other factors, often leading to issues such as impaired leg movement, abnormal sensation, and difficulties with bladder and bowel control. These challenges significantly affect the patient's quality of life. While there is currently no cure for spinal cord …
Enhancing Recovery in Non-Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
The investigators have spent the last decade uncovering unique metabolic and functional abnormalities in the brains of patients with spinal cord compression. Degenerative spinal cord compression represents a unique model of reversible spinal cord injury. In the investigator's previous work, they have demonstrated that cortical reorganization and recruitment is associated …
Spinal Cord Stimulation Assisted by Motor Rehabilitation Training for Restoring Motor Function After Spinal Cord Injury
Interventional prospective longitudinal on the evaluation of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) assisted by motor rehabilitation training for restoring motor function in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). The investigators will enroll ten research participants with clinically incomplete/complete SCI (patients with paraplegia or severe paraparesis) who will undergo SCS subsequently assisted …
Corticospinal Function After Spinal Cord Injury
The investigator's overall goal is to develop new strategies to test optimization of Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) doses to maximize strategy to restore upper and lower-limb motor function in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The investigator proposes to use modern electrophysiological methods to enhance the efficacy of residual corticospinal connections. …
