Behavioural Intervention
Incontinence Management Tool for Spina Bifida
Recruiting1 award
Indianapolis, Indiana
This trial is testing a new tool to help spina bifida patients and their urologists work together to identify goals for treating urinary and fecal incontinence. The tool will help patients communicate their symptoms and what they hope to achieve, so that the most appropriate treatment can be determined.
Procedure
Surgical Sectioning for Tethered Cord Syndrome
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
New York, New York
This trial is testing whether a surgery to cut a small piece of tissue at the end of the spinal cord is better than standard medical treatments for patients with Occult Tethered Cord Syndrome (OTCS). These patients often do not find relief from typical treatments. The surgery aims to relieve pressure and tension in the spinal cord, which may help improve their symptoms. This surgical method is currently the most widely accepted treatment for OTCS.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem Cell Therapy for Spina Bifida
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1 & 2
Sacramento, California
This trial is testing a new treatment for spina bifida, which is a birth defect where the spinal cord is exposed. The treatment involves adding stem cells to the repair, which is effective in animals and is thought to be safe.
Procedure
Fetoscopic Repair Techniques for Spina Bifida
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1
Stanford, California
This trial will compare two techniques for repairing a birth defect called myelomeningocele. One technique uses a patch and the other does not. The hypothesis is that the technique with the patch will result in a thicker repair and less chance of the repair coming apart.

HIFT for Neurological Disorders
Recruiting1 award
Fort Smith, Arkansas
This trial aims to assess the effects of exercise on individuals with and without neurologic diagnoses, as well as their care partners. Exercise has long-term physical and psychosocial benefits, so this study looks to see how HIFT helps.
Robotic Exoskeleton
Robotic Walking Device for Child Movement Disorders
Recruiting1 award
Bethesda, Maryland
This trial tests a robotic exoskeleton that helps children with walking difficulties due to conditions like cerebral palsy or spinal cord injury. The device can either assist or challenge their walking to strengthen muscles and improve movement. Children will use the exoskeleton in different settings to see if it improves their ability to walk. Robotic exoskeletons have been increasingly used in pediatric rehabilitation to assist children with cerebral palsy in improving their walking abilities.
Behavioural Intervention
Movement-2-Music Exercise Program for Mobility Disabilities
Recruiting1 award5 criteria
Birmingham, Alabama
This trial is testing the effects of an innovative exercise program, movement-2-music (M2M), on health and fitness outcomes in adults with physical/mobility disabilities. One hundred and eight participants will be recruited and randomly enrolled into one of two groups: M2M or waitlist control. The primary aim of this study is to determine the effects of the 12-week M2M program on health and fitness in participants with physical/mobility disabilities. The study will also compare the observed effects of the program to a previous M2M study, and test whether adherence (attendance to the 12-week program) affects the

Procedure
Fetoscopic Surgery for Spina Bifida
Recruiting1 award8 criteria
Los Angeles, California
This trial will test two different ways to operate on fetuses with myelomeningocele (a birth defect where the spinal cord doesn't form properly). One approach goes through the mother's skin (percutaneous), and the other goes through the mother's belly (laparotomy/uterine exteriorization).
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.
