Sleep Apnea in Paralympic Ontario-Resident aThletes With Spinal Cord Injury (SPORTS) Study
This single arm clinical trial will assess whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in the management of moderate-to-severe sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) among para-athletes living with cervical/thoracic, complete or incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) is effective in improving cognitive impairment, in reducing fatigue, depression, anxiety, and overall quality of …
Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury for Improvement of Gait
Spinal cord injuries are anatomically mostly incomplete, showing tissue bridges of the spinal cord at the injury site. Of the 60% functionally incomplete patients, about half face a life in the wheelchair. Besides conventional rehabilitation, no prominsing further treatment options exist. One of the most plastic systems involved in locomotion …
Spinal Cord Transcutaneous Stimulation Effect on Blood Pressure in Acute Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation on blood pressure in individuals with an acute spinal cord injury (within 30 days of injury). Blood pressure instability, specifically orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when moving lying flat on your back …
Closed-loop Spinal Stimulation for Restoration of Upper Extremity Function After Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of non-invasive (transcutaneous) closed-loop electrical spinal cord stimulation for recovery of upper limb function (Aim 1) and spasticity (Aim 2) following spinal cord injury.
Improving Adherence to Spinal Cord Injury Exercise Guidelines Using Smartphone Technology and E-coaching
The goal of this research is to increase physical activity among individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) through a customized, interactive smartphone-based health app and e-coaching using three phases: (1) leading focus groups of potential app users and clinicians to gain information regarding health apps preferences for optimal consumer …
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 …
Novel Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibitor for Neuropathic Pain in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of EC5026 in male and female patients with neuropathic pain due to spinal cord injury. The main question it aims to answer is whether EC5026 is safe and well tolerated in SCI patients with …
Promoting Recovery Outcomes Through Precise Early Locomotor Interventions in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a specific type of additional walking therapy, called body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) affects walking ability following a traumatic spinal cord injury. Specifically, the study will look at whether starting BWSTT, which uses a body harness to support body weight …
Cardiovascular Function and Response to Stimulation Within the First Year After Spinal Cord Injury
The study aims to explore how cardiovascular function changes in the first year after a spinal cord injury, and to see how different treatments, like spinal stimulation through the skin (transcutaneous spinal stimulation), affect blood pressure. The main questions are: How does stimulation affect blood pressure over the year? What …
Non-Invasive Neuromodulation for Upper Extremity Function in Spinal Cord Injury: A Crossover Trial
This study explores two promising therapies for restoring arm and hand function in people with chronic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), a condition that affects independence and quality of life. It will compare transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation and paired corticospinal-motoneuronal stimulation, both combined with rehabilitation. Using a crossover design, participants …
