Spinal Cord Associative Plasticity Study
Spinal cord associative plasticity (SCAP) is a combined cortical and spinal electrical stimulation technique developed to induce recovery of arm and hand function in spinal cord injury. The proposed study will advance understanding of SCAP, which is critical to its effective translation to human therapy. The purpose of the study …
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 Stimulation for Parkinsonism
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is a newly emerged neuromodulation technique in recent years. It is now a mature technique in the treatment of chronic pain and is generally accepted by patients because of its non-destructive and reversible nature, few complications, no side effects, and avoidance of unnecessary surgical procedures. Combining …
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.
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 …
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 …
Spinal Cord Injury Neuroprotection With Glyburide
To assess the safety and efficacy of using oral Glyburide (Diabeta) as a neuroprotective agent in patients with acute cervical or thoracic traumatic spinal cord injury.
Spinal Cord Associative Plasticity for ALS
Veterans are at higher risk than non-Veterans of falling ill with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The investigators have shown that synchronized stimulation over the brain and cervical spinal cord can temporarily strengthen weakened nerve circuits between the brain and hand muscles in people with ALS. The current proposal will take …
