Assessment of a Robotic Exoskeleton for Upper Limb Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation robotics has the potential to facilitate rehabilitation at home and empower people with spinal injuries to self-manage increasing their independence and improving their quality of life. The objective of this study is to assess for the first time in the NHS the efficacy of a commercial robotic orthosis for …
Safety of Cultured Autologous Adult Adipose Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Versus Cultured Allogeneic Adult Umbilical-cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Intrathecal Injection for SCI
This trial will study the safety and efficacy of intrathecal injection of cultured autologous adult adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells versus cultured allogeneic adult umbilical-cord derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of spinal cord injury
Combining Spinal Cord Transcutaneous Stimulation and Activity-based Training in Inpatient Rehabilitation to Facilitate Upper Limb Function of Individuals with Acute to Subacute Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand the safety and practicality of using spinal cord transcutaneous (through the skin) stimulation in an inpatient setting as well as how the combination of activity-based training (ABT) and spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS) can improve participants' ability to use their hands, …
Spinal Cord Stimulation for Autonomic Recovery in Inpatient Rehabilitation After Acute SCI
This study is a randomized, single-blind, two-arm sham-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) over the lower thoracic and upper lumbar spinal cord segments for cardiovascular function in adults (21-65 years old) with cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI) (≥T6) …
BCI-Assisted SCS-EXS for Gait Optimization
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and technical feasibility of a novel brain-machine interface (BCI)-assisted spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and exoskeleton (EXS) system in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). The primary aim is to determine whether the BCI-SCS-EXS system can safely and effectively improve …
Harnessing Neuroplasticity of Postural Sensorimotor Networks Using Non-Invasive Spinal Neuromodulation to Maximize Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury
It has been demonstrated that the human lumbosacral spinal cord can be neuromodulated with epidural (ESS) and transcutaneous (TSS) spinal cord stimulation to enable recovery of standing and volitional control of the lower limbs after complete motor paralysis due to spinal cord injury (SCI). The work proposed herein will examine …
Reticulospinal Control of Movements
Accurate movement execution is a result of a complex interplay between various muscle groups whose activity is controlled by different areas of the central nervous system. Besides the corticospinal system, the phylogenetically old reticulospinal system is a key motor system controlling different elementary movements including posture, locomotion and reaching across …
Eccentric Muscle Training, Stimulation, and Biomarkers in SCI
The investigators are studying a new rehabilitation treatment for individuals trying to recover walking after spinal cord injury (SCI). The investigators will test conditions in the blood and spinal fluid to determine the best time to start this new training program. This will include checking for certain features called biomarkers …
Neuromodulation as an Anti-inflammatory Treatment in SCI
The goal of this single-blinded randomized, controlled trial is to assess the impact of 1-hour of active transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) vs sham taVNS on serum biomarkers of the inflammatory reflex and inflammation in individuals with spinal cord injury. The main question it aims to answer is: whether …
Epidural Electrical Stimulation to Restore Standing and Walking in Patients With Chronic Paralysis Due to Spinal Cord Injury: A Study on Motor Recovery, Spasticity Reduction, and Quality of Life Improvement Through Neuromodulation and Intensive Rehabilitation
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major cause of morbidity and disability worldwide, significantly impacting patients' quality of life and functional independence. Despite advances in rehabilitation therapies, many individuals with SCI remain unable to stand or walk. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) has emerged as a promising neuromodulation therapy to restore …
