Active clinical trials for "Spinal Cord Injuries"

To establish the effectiveness of an internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy pain management programme (CBT-PMP) on people with spinal cord injury pain compared with usual care.

The purpose of study is to determine whether autologous mononuclear cells deriving from the bone marrow are effective in the treatment of spinal cord injury.

The main objective of the study is the evaluation of the safety and tolerability of FAB117-HC (a medicinal product containing human allogeneic adipose derived adult mesenchymal stem cells expanded and pulsed with H2O2, HC016 cells) administered at a single-time point to patients with acute thoracic traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). The study will also include initial exploration of potential clinical efficacy. Dose levels of 20 million and 40 million cells will be administered.

Is dual-task obstacle crossing training more efficiently than single-task obstacle crossing training on the improvement of walking ability, balance ability, and lower extremity muscle strength in ambulatory subjects with spinal cord injury

The purpose of this study was to observe the therapeutic effect of near-infrared light irradiation on the treatment of acute spinal cord injury in humans, and whether it can promote the recovery of neurological function. Half of the patients underwent laminectomy and decompression surgery, and the other half of the patients were implanted with irradiated fibers for irradiation after surgery.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of surgical decompression/untethering, combined with weight bearing rehabilitation, on neurological recovery following chronic spinal cord injury.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stem cells or neural stem cells combined with NeuroRegen scaffold transplantation in patients with spinal cord injury.

This research study is being conducted to help explore the effects of non-invasive (non-surgical) spinal cord stimulation via sticky electrodes over the skin (transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation; TCSCS) on bowel, bladder and sexual function following spinal cord injury. Our primary aim is to determine the specific location and timing of TCSCS at various spinal cord levels in order to target bladder and bowel control (Study 1 and 2), and to assess the safety and effectiveness of TCSCS during bladder and bowel function assessments (Study 2 only). Participants may choose to participate in either Study 1 or 2.

PROMPT-SCI (Protocol for Rapid Onset of Mobilization in Patients with Traumatic SCI) is a single-site single-arm proof-of-concept trial. Forty-five patients aged 18 years or older who have sustained a severe traumatic SCI (American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale grade A, B or C) from C0 to L1 and undergoing spinal surgery within 48 hours of the injury will be included. Participants will receive daily 30-minute sessions of in-bed leg cycling for 14 consecutive days, initiated within 48 hours after spinal surgery. The feasibility outcomes consist of the 1) absence of serious adverse events associated with cycling sessions, 2) completion of at least 1 full session within 48 hours after spinal surgery for at least 90% of participants, and 3) completion of at least 11 sessions for at least 80% of participants. Patient outcomes 6 weeks and 6 months after injury will be measured from neurofunctional assessments, quality of life questionnaires and inpatient length of stay. Feasibility and patient outcomes will be analysed with descriptive statistics. Patient outcomes will also be compared to a matched historical cohort not receiving in-bed cycling.

This study is a phase IV clinical trial with the objective of evaluating whether pain relief associated with pregabalin for at-level non-evoked and evoked neuropathic pain is more efficient during the early rather than late subacute phase of spinal cord injury.
