Clinical trials: Spinal Plasticity
Spinal Cord Injuries
Investigation of Brain Functional MRI as an Early Biomarker of Recovery in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury
Early detection of response to therapeutic intervention is vital, as it will enable early termination of intervention in non-responding patients, prevent unnecessary financial burden, and allow for early changes to the…

Spinal Cord Injury
Enhancing STDP After Spinal Cord Injury
The overall goal is to develop new clinical approaches to restore limb function after spinal cord injury (SCI). Corticospinal tract (CST) axons are involved in controlling limb function.

- STDP, Training, Multisite-STDP
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 62 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Spinal Cord Injuries
Musculoskeletal Plasticity After Spinal Cord Injury
Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience metabolic syndrome, diabetes, obesity, pressure ulcers, and cardiovascular disease at far greater rates than the general population.
- Trial name
- NCT02622295
- Testing
- Single-session electrically induced exercise, Electrically-induced exercise training
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 71 people

Spinal Cord Injury
Effect of Prolonged Electrical Stimulation on Neural Plasticity in Spinal Cord Injury
Electrical stimulation (pulses of electricity applied over the skin of your wrist) and activity-based hand exercise have been shown to improve motor skill and strength in individuals with stroke and have recently been shown to…
