Clinical Trials and Research Studies
FOR PEOPLE WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY PERIPHERAL NERVE INJURY
The Miami Project clinical researchers currently have several clinical trials and clinical studies available for people who have had a spinal cord injury; some are for acute injuries and some are for chronic injuries. The clinical trials are testing the safety and efficacy of different neuroprotective, reparative, or modulatory interventions. The clinical studies are investigating questions regarding exercise science, nutrition, rehabilitation training, pain, male fertility, aging, and brain-machine interface technology.
If you would like to be considered for these or future Miami Project trials or studies, please see our Register for a Research Program section, send us a message, or call The Miami Project Education Office at 305-243-7108.
Peripheral Nerve Injury (outside of Spinal Cord Injury)
This study is open only to people with severe injury to a peripheral nerve (in leg or arm) and is NOT open to people with a spinal cord injury:
For People with Spinal Cord Injury
These studies are recruiting people within the first day or two after injury:
- Systemic Hypothermia in Acute Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
- Spinal Cord Injury Registry (North American Clinical Trials Network)
This study is recruiting people who have recently been discharged from inpatient rehab (within 2 months):
These studies are recruiting people with spinal cord injury, regardless of date of injury:
- Fertility Evaluation (MEN only)
- Effects of Bodily Illusion and tDCS on SCI-Related Neuropathic Pain
- Factors Influencing Satiation in Spinal Cord Injury (FISI-SCI)
These studies are recruiting people who were injured at least one year ago:
- Physiological and Behavioral Regulation of Feeding after Spinal Cord Injury
- Postprandial Fat Metabolism Following an Acute Exercise Bout in Persons with Spinal Cord Injuries
- Motor Plasticity, Intermittent Hypoxia and Sleep Apnea
- The Safety and Efficacy of the Use of a Brain-Computer Interface-Based Electromagnetic Field Treatment in the Management of Chronic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Patients: A Pilot Study
- Altered Body Representation in People with Spinal Cord Injury and its Association with Pain Sensation
- Spinal Cord Injury Exercise and Nutrition Conceptual Engagement (SCIENCE)
- Diet & RMR
