Intra-wound Vancomycin Powder for Prevention of Surgical Site Infection Following Spinal Surgery
Cefazolin is given routinely pre and intraoperatively for patients undergoing spinal surgery to reduce the rate of infection. Intra-wound admission of Vancomycin powder has been suggested to reduce wound infection rates. Therefore, this study aims to compare the rate of wound-related complications between patients receiving standard treatment compared to patients …
Clinical Utility of an Amniotic Membrane Allograft for Diabetic Foot Ulcer Wound Management
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if use of Orion™, a dual-layer amniotic membrane allograft, in addition to standard wound care treatment can improve patient outcomes for people over the age of 50 with diabetic foot ulcers. The study aims to determine the incidence of complete wound …
Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation for Lower Limb Spasticity in Spinal Cord Injury
Spasticity develops months after spinal cord injury (SCI) and persists over time. It presents as a mixture of tonic features, namely increased muscle tone (hypertonia) and phasic features, such as hyperactive reflexes (hyperreflexia), clonus, and involuntary muscle contractions (spasms). Spasticity is often disabling because it interferes with hygiene, transfers, and …
Psychosocial, Cognitive, and Behavioral Consequences of Sleep-disordered Breathing After SCI
This clinical trial will examine the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in improving psychosocial, neurocognitive and behavioral consequences of moderate-to-severe sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) in people living with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Effectiveness of a Powered Exoskeleton Combined With FES for Patients With Chronic SCI: a RCT
While there are a number of prospective studies evaluating powered exoskeletons in SCI patients, to date, not a single well-designed, randomized clinical trial has been published. However, there is evidence for beneficial effects of over-ground exoskeleton therapy on walking function post-intervention from a meta-analysis on non-randomized, uncontrolled studies. Functional electrical …
Treatment of Sleep Apnea in Patients With Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
This study will investigate potential therapeutic approaches for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with chronic cervical spine injury (>6 months post-injury).
High Flow Oxygen Therapy After Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this feasibility study is to learn about the ability to use a different form of oxygen therapy (known as high flow oxygen therapy) in patients who have a spinal cord injury in the upper back or neck. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is it …
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 …
Development of a Novel Strategy to Analyze the Effect on Gait Using Transcutaneous Spinal Current Stimulation in Incomplete Spinal Cord Injured Patients
To determine whether the combination of non-invasive spinal cord stimulation together with gait rehabilitation reduces spasticity and facilitates recovery of lower limb motor strength and gait function in patients with incomplete SCI, as well as studying the underlying physiopathological changes following incomplete SCI and its modulation by non-invasive stimulation techniques.
Abdominal Functional Electrical Stimulation to Improve Bowel Function in Spinal Cord Injury
The primary objective of this study is to gather information about the effectiveness of abdominal FES to improve bowel management time (BMT) for people with chronic SCI. This study will also evaluate whether abdominal FES can improve: 1) bowel-related quality of life, 2) participant-reported bowel function, 3) bowel management strategy, …
