NCT ID: NCT02750982 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Laughter Therapy Effects on Mood, Stress and Self-efficacy in People With Neurological Diseases.

Start date: July 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a prospective investigation of the effects of Laughter therapy (LT) on perceived stress, self-efficacy, mood and other wellness measures in people with the following neurological conditions: Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, brain injury, Huntington's Disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, post-stroke, spinal cord injury.

NCT ID: NCT02746978 Enrolling by invitation - Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Trials

A Patient-centered Approach to Successful Community Transition After Catastrophic Injury

Start date: August 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Shepherd Center is bringing a more patient-centered focus to educational, peer-support, and technology resources offered to patients with spinal cord injury and their families and is evaluating these changes. Approximately 740 patients have provided information about healthcare utilization following inpatient rehabilitation. This information will help Shepherd Center staff follow utilization trends and plan programs targeted at the high-use areas.

NCT ID: NCT02736890 Terminated - Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Trials

Injecting Botulinum Toxin A Underneath the Skin to Treat Spinal Cord Pain in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury

Start date: March 2016
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Back pain is a common secondary condition of both acute and chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). Current existing treatment including both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic are limited by marginal efficacy or intolerable side effects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of subcutaneous injections of botulinum toxin A to provide pain relief in spinal cord injury patients with back pain near the level of injury in the spine. Botulinum toxin A has been shown in both pre-clinical and clinical studies to help with nerve pain. The researchers propose a double blinded placebo controlled crossover study to study the effects of subcutaneous botulinum injections to at--level SCI back pain in patients with spinal cord injury.

NCT ID: NCT02731027 Completed - Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Trials

Biomarkers of Spontaneous Recovery From Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury

SCIMARK
Start date: October 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of the study is to profile biochemical responses and measure functional recovery in parallel, throughout the 1st year after spinal cord injury (SCI), within the same participants. These responses and recovery will be evaluated in samples from people who have had a spinal cord injury due to trauma (e.g. car accident or a fall) within the first year after SCI. Specifically, the investigators will test the hypothesis that a subset of inflammatory biomarkers correlate inversely with functional recovery. The investigators will use these data to build a predictive model of functional recovery after SCI that incorporates biomarkers that can be easily quantified in the clinic. Total anticipated enrollment will be 100 participants with SCI across three different sites (Northwell Health System (NY), The Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation (NJ), University of Louisville (KY) and may enroll up to 30 participants without SCI.

NCT ID: NCT02720341 Terminated - Healthy Clinical Trials

VIT-ARMin Virtual, Intensified and Patient-tailored Robotic Arm Therapy With the Exoskeleton Robot ARMin

VIT-ARMin
Start date: April 10, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Consideration-of-Concept Trial (stage 1) on robotic therapy of the upper extremity with the ARMin therapy robot in healthy subjects and patients with neurological disease (e.g. stroke, spinal cord injury)

NCT ID: NCT02703883 Completed - Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Trials

Body Weight Support in Spinal Cord Injury

Start date: July 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of body weight-supported treadmill (BWST) training on static balance impairment in adults with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) in chronic stage

NCT ID: NCT02701790 Not yet recruiting - Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Trials

Improving Motor Function After Spinal Cord Injury

Start date: March 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goals of this study are to examine the physiology of Central Nervous System pathways contributing to the control of upper and lower extremity movements after SCI, and to promote the recovery of extremity movements by using non-invasive brain stimulation and motor training.

NCT ID: NCT02701777 Completed - Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Trials

Enhancing STDP After Spinal Cord Injury

Start date: March 1, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The overall goal is to develop new clinical approaches to restore limb function after spinal cord injury (SCI). Corticospinal tract (CST) axons are involved in controlling limb function. Paired pulse induced spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) enhances synaptic strength between residual CST axons and spinal motoneurons (SMNs) resulting in temporary improvements in limb function in humans with incomplete SCI. Motor training will be combined with paired-pulse STDP stimulation to further enhance plasticity and behavioral recovery.

NCT ID: NCT02688062 Enrolling by invitation - Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Trials

NeuroRegen Scaffold™ With Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells Transplantation vs. Intradural Decompression and Adhesiolysis in SCI

Start date: January 2016
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of NeuroRegen Scaffold with bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) on neurological recovery following chronic and complete spinal cord injury, compared to the treatment of surgical intradural decompression and adhesiolysis only.

NCT ID: NCT02688049 Enrolling by invitation - Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Trials

NeuroRegen Scaffold™ Combined With Stem Cells for Chronic Spinal Cord Injury Repair

Start date: January 2016
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

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.
