Filter by:This is a double blind, randomized, placebo -controlled clinical trial with the primary goal of determining the osteogenic benefits of simvastatin in acute SCI.
STIMO is a First-in-Man (FIM) study to confirm the safety and feasibility of a closed-loop Epidural Electrical Stimulation (EES) in combination with overground robot assisted rehabilitation training for patients with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Patients will participate during 8-12 months, during which there will be: - Pre-implant evaluations (6-8 weeks) - Device implantation and stimulation optimization (6-8 weeks) - Overground rehabilitation training with EES (5-6 months). In the period after implantation, participants need to be present for testing and training, 4 days per week at the CHUV University Hospital in Lausanne (lodging can be provided). It is possible to complement the neuro-rehabilitative training at CHUV with training outside the rehabilitation room by making use of the Home-use system. At the end of the protocol, the study aims to make the patients walk better and faster. As this is the first study of its kind, success is not guaranteed. However, the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks. An optional extension of the study up to 3 years is offered. During this period, the patient can continue the training with the Home-use system.
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 is to learn more about how participants heal from acute spinal cord injury.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) applied on spinal cord in patients with spinal cord injury who have chronic neuropathic pain.
The aim of this study was to analyze using an artificial intelligence engine (IA) the influence of the pathophysiological environment (set parametric monitoring data, imaging, biology etc.) of acute spinal cord trauma on spinal pain. This project seeks to establish the principles of a new approach for studying spinal cord injury patients. It does not meet the usual criteria of clinical trials in so far as it does not test on patients the effect of a therapeutic
The purpose of this study is to determine how mild breathing bouts of low oxygen may restore walking and leg strength in persons who have sustained a spinal cord injury.
Over 300,000 people in the United States have spinal cord injuries and many use manual wheelchairs for mobility. Most manual wheelchair users will develop shoulder injuries and pain that greatly affect quality of life and level of independence. Understanding when shoulder disease starts in manual wheelchair users and which daily activities contribute to the disease will provide necessary evidence for effective primary prevention methods to inhibit the development of further disability. Our central hypothesis is that the development of shoulder disease in manual wheelchair users will be strongly associated with the cumulative exposure to elevated shoulder postures combined with high upper body loading.
The purpose of this study is to determine the autoantibody profiles after spinal cord injury and their role in spontaneous functional recovery.
This is an open, randomized, rehabilitation-controlled study in subjects with complete Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury, where the active treatment consists of a surgical implantation of SC0806 (a biodegradable device with heparin-activated FGF1 and nerve implants).
