Popular Trials
Radiation Therapy
Laser Ablation + Radiosurgery for Spinal Cancer
Recruiting1 award
Detroit, Michigan
This trial is testing a new way to treat tumors near the spinal cord by combining two existing treatment methods. The goal is to improve tumor control and quality of life for patients with spinal metastasis.
Hormone Therapy
Locomotor Training + Testosterone for Spinal Cord Injury
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 2
Gainesville, Florida
This trial will study the feasibility of using testosterone replacement therapy along with locomotor training to improve walking function in men with spinal cord injuries and low testosterone levels.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem Cell Therapy + Exoskeleton/Virtual Reality for Spinal Cord Injury
Recruiting1 award5 criteria
Coral Springs, Florida
This trial is investigating whether autologous bone marrow derived stem cells can help improve motor or sensory function in people with spinal cord injury. The treatment involves injections of the cells around the area of the injury, as well as an intravenous injection and intranasal placement. Patients may also be assigned to use exoskeletal movement or virtual reality visualization to help improve function.
Adenosine A2a Receptor Antagonist
Istradefylline + Low Oxygen Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1 & 2
Cambridge, Massachusetts
This trial tests a treatment for spinal cord injury patients that combines breathing low oxygen air with a medication. The goal is to improve walking by strengthening nerve pathways and blocking certain brain effects that could reduce this benefit. Breathing low-oxygen air has shown potential in enhancing walking recovery in spinal cord injury patients by promoting neuroplasticity.
Immunomodulatory Agent
Teriflunomide for Tropical Spastic Paraparesis
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1 & 2
Bethesda, Maryland
This trial will test the effects of the drug teriflunomide on adults with HAM/TSP. Eligible participants will take the drug once daily for 9 months, and will have various medical tests throughout the 15-month trial.

CEUS for Spinal Cord Injury
Recruiting1 award
Charleston, South Carolina
This trial is testing a new imaging method called Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) to help doctors see blood flow changes in the spinal cord during surgery. It aims to help patients having surgery for chronic spinal cord pressure in the neck and upper back. The goal is to predict and prevent nerve damage by spotting blood flow issues early. CEUS has been used in various studies to visualize and assess blood flow in the spinal cord, including during surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
