Brain Stimulation
for Spinal Cord Injury
The Long-term goal of this project is to develop upper limb rehabilitation interventions that can be utilized for cervical Spinal Cord Injury survivors. This Study will utilize a novel method of non-invasive brain stimulation in conjunction with upper limb training given for 15 sessions over several weeks up to 8 weeks. The Study will include the following site visits: Eligibility Screening and Informed Consent Visit. Four testing visit in which motor function of the upper limb and neurophysiology will be measured Fifteen intervention visits during which patients will receive upper limb training in conjunction with non-invasive brain stimulation Repeat testing of motor function and neurophysiology of the upper limb following completion of intervention visits a Follow-up visit completed 3 months after the completion of interventions

Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation
for Blood Pressure Control in Spinal Cord Injury
This project will investigate the effect of spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation on blood pressure in individuals with a chronic spinal cord injury who experience blood pressure instability, specifically, orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when moving from lying flat on your back to an upright position). The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the various spinal sites and stimulation parameters that normalize and stabilize blood pressure during an orthostatic provocation (70 degrees tilt)? Does training, i.e., exposure to repeated stimulation sessions, have an effect on blood pressure stability? Participants will undergo orthostatic tests (lying on a table that starts out flat, then tilts upward up to 70 degrees), with and without stimulation, and changes in their blood pressure will be evaluated.

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).
What does Gail F Forrest, PhD specialize in?
Gail F Forrest, PhD focuses on Spinal Cord Injury and Nervous System Disorders. In particular, much of their work with Spinal Cord Injury has involved treating patients, or patients who are undergoing treatment.
