Neuroprosthetic Device
Neuroprosthetic System for Spinal Cord Injury
Recruiting1 award6 criteria
Cleveland, Ohio
This trial is to test a new, fully implanted device that could help people with cervical spinal cord injuries regain hand function, reach, and trunk function. It is funded by the FDA, NIH, and NINDS.
Behavioural Intervention
Exercise Programs for Spinal Cord Injury
Recruiting1 award4 criteria
Birmingham, Alabama
This trial is testing if two different 8-week exercise programs can help adults with spinal cord injuries. One group will do a movement to music program, one will do a standard exercise program, and one will be the control group.
Procedure
SCPP Management for Spinal Cord Injury
Recruiting1 award6 criteria
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
This trial will enroll 100 patients with recent, acute spinal cord injury. A lumbar intrathecal catheter will be inserted to measure intrathecal pressure and collect cerebrospinal fluid samples. The study's primary objective is to determine the effect of maintaining a systolic cerebrospinal perfusion pressure of 65 mmHg or greater on neurological recovery in patients with acute spinal cord injury, as measured by ASIA Impairment Scale grade conversion and motor score improvement.
Neural Bypass System
Neural Bypass System for Quadriplegia
Recruiting1 award5 criteria
Manhasset, New York
This trial tests a new device called the Bidirectional Neural Bypass System, which aims to help people with severe paralysis move and feel their hands and wrists again. The device works by reading brain signals for movement and sending touch signals back to the brain. It targets individuals with tetraplegia who cannot move or feel their limbs due to spinal cord injuries.
Behavioural Intervention
Combined Hypoxia Therapy and Rehabilitation for Spinal Cord Injury
Recruiting0 awards2 criteria
Chicago, Illinois
This trial will investigate whether combining daily hypoxia therapy with massed practice training can improve upper-body function in people with chronic incomplete cervical spinal cord injuries.

Occupational Therapy for Spinal Cord Compression
Recruiting1 award
London, Ontario
This trial aims to understand how rehabilitation therapy can improve brain plasticity and neurological function in patients with spinal cord compression. The study will compare patients who receive rehabilitation after spine surgery with those who do not,
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.
Deep Brain Stimulation
DBS for Chronic Pain
Recruiting1 award12 criteria
San Francisco, California
This trial is testing a new way to provide deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with chronic pain that has not been relieved by other treatments. DBS involves surgically placing a small device in the brain that sends electrical signals to specific areas. The goal of this trial is to find out whether DBS is more effective when it is turned on only when needed, rather than continuously.
Neurostimulation Device
Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation for Spinal Cord Injury
Recruiting1 award9 criteria
Minneapolis, Minnesota
This trial will test a way to improve epidural spinal cord stimulation for people with spinal cord injuries. The study will also look at how well autonomic function (such as blood pressure control) and other functions improve.

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
Behavioural Intervention
Neurosleeve for Arm Weakness/Paralysis
Recruiting1 award11 criteria
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This trial is testing the NuroSleeve, a wearable device that helps people with weak or paralyzed arms move them using electrical signals. It is aimed at those who haven't fully recovered with standard therapies. The device detects small muscle movements and uses them to activate the brace and stimulate muscles, helping with arm movement. Electrical stimulation has been explored in various contexts, including improving arm and hand function in individuals with spinal cord injuries and post-stroke patients.

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.
