The purpose of this study is to deepen our understanding of children who have a cervical spinal cord injury obtained in utero or at birth and examine the effects of tailored activity-based recovery training (ABRT) in combination with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (scTS). This is a within subjects, pre-post design …
This study will investigate potential therapeutic approaches for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with chronic cervical spine injury (\>6 months post-injury).
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).
This study will evaluate a method to optimize parameter settings in epidural spinal cord stimulation used to recover lower extremity volitional movement. The study will also characterize improvement in autonomic function (such as blood pressure control) and other functions related to spinal cord injury.
The Investigators will recruit 35 participants with acute SCI (within 6 weeks of injury) Fasting blood collection and bowel function survey will be conducted 3 times: at baseline \[within 6 weeks of injury\], 6, and 12 months after SCI. Stool will be collected for gut microbiome analysis 3 times.
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 …
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 …
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, …
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.
Approximately 305,000 people live with a spinal cord injury (SCI) in the United States. Sixty percent of these individuals have tetraplegia, which can cause significant dysfunction of the arms and hands. One of the consequences of SCI is spasticity - involuntary activation of muscles that can hinder bodily functions and …
