Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation Program

Below are current clinical trials.

Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. Spinal Cord Injury Physical Activity Guidelines in Association with Health-Related and Psychosocial Outcomes

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether meeting the physical activity guidelines for cardiometabolic health is associated with positive health-related outcomes.

   Additionally to determine whether meeting the physical activity guidelines for cardiometabolic health is associated with positive psychosocial outcomes, and determine whether meeting the physical activity guidelines for cardiometabolic health is associated with greater social and occupational integration.  

2. A Study to Survey Epidural User Experience for Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury Paralysis

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is a survey study to identify user-reported motor, sensory, and autonomic functions that are enabled by epidural stimulation, establish correlations between epidural stimulation usage, rehabilitation, functional gains, and user experience in the laboratory and community settings, and to understand and identify subjective goals, benefits, and barriers that still exist with implanted epidural stimulator community.

3. Preserved Autonomic Function Following Spinal Cord Injury

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize gradients of dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system after spinal cord injury.  

4. Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems For Minnesota Region (SCIMS)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to contribute to the Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems (SCIMS) national database through longitudinal assessment of long-term health and psychosocial outcomes after acquired spinal cord injury (SCI). 

    

    

5. Analysis of Spinal Cord Stimulation Usage Over a 15-Year Period

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the rate at which patients who underwent Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) trial ultimately progressed to SCS implantation, determine the percentage of patients who continued using their SCS system after 5 years, as well as identify patient characteristics that lead to SCS discontinuation.

6. A Study to Evaluate Neurostimulation to Treat Chronic Upper Limb Pain After Brachial Plexus Injury

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   This study is designed to assess the degree to which high-frequency spinal cord stimulation may help with pain after brachial plexus avulsion injury.

7. Cutaneous Autonomic Innervation in Skin Pressure Injury Pathophysiology After Spinal Cord Injury

   Rochester, Minn.

   The overall goal of this research is to investigate potential differences in the regulation of skin blood flow in individuals with spinal cord injury.

8. Longitudinal Autonomic Characterization As A Predictor For Secondary Medical Complications Post-SCI

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this research is to learn about how the body is able to balance changes in blood pressure, how that changes over time, and how these changes impact a participant's risk of developing medical problems.

9. Mayo Clinic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Rehabilitation Research Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   This will be a prospective registry conducted and maintained at Mayo Clinic Rochester from which collaborating sites within Mayo, Mayo Health Systems, and other spinal cord injury centers can draw from in order to fulfill research enrollment. The information collected for this registry will be used for recruitment purposes only, and will not be used as research data. Participants who are recruited to participate in other research studies will need to complete a separate consenting/enrollment process specific to that study.

    

10. Minnesota Spinal Cord Injury Data Network

    Rochester, Minn.

    This is a study to generate feasibilty data regarding the collection of health and psychosocial outcomes after acquired spinal cord injury (SCI)
