Implanted Brain-Computer Interface to Help People with Severe Arm Impairment
We’re testing the N1 System, a fully implanted brain interface in the motor cortex with a robot, to see if it can help adults with spinal cord injury, ALS, or chronic stroke use a computer or keyboard more easily.
-
Robotic upper-limb rehab vs standard therapy for adults with tetraplegia
This study tests whether a robotic arm rehabilitation device (PABLO®) plus standard therapy helps people with tetraplegia recover more upper-limb strength than standard rehab alone.
-
Wireless implant for brain-computer interface in people with tetraplegia from spinal cord injury
This trial tests a wireless brain-computer interface implanted in adults with tetraplegia to see if it is safe and if it can help restore some function.
-
Implanted brain interface to let people with severe paralysis control assistive devices
It will try an implanted brain interface that records and stimulates brain signals so adults with severe paralysis can control assistive devices and receive sensory feedback.
-
Connexus® Brain-Computer Interface to restore communication and device control
This study will try the Connexus brain-computer interface to help people with severe loss of voluntary movement (for example from ALS, cervical spinal cord injury, or stroke) communicate and control computers.
-
Robotic implantation of a precise brain‑computer interface to restore communication
This project tests whether a robotically implanted Neuralink N1 brain implant can help adults with severe, irreversible speech loss from ALS, spinal cord injury, or stroke communicate again.
-
Robotically implanted Neuralink N1 brain-computer interface to control external devices
This study will test whether a robotically implanted Neuralink N1 brain-computer interface can safely help people with high spinal cord injuries or ALS control computers and other external devices.
-
Robotically implanted brain chip to help control external devices
This tests a wireless, rechargeable brain implant (Neuralink N1) and a robot surgical system (R1) to help people with severe arm and hand paralysis control external devices.
-
Training to boost brain-to-spine signals for better wrist and hand control
This trial will test whether 10 weeks of non-invasive brain stimulation with feedback can strengthen brain-to-spinal-cord signals and improve wrist and hand function in adults with chronic cervical spinal cord injury and weak wrist extension.
-
Cervical spinal cord stimulation for improving arm and hand function
This study is testing different ways of using spinal cord stimulation to see if it can help people with cervical spinal cord injuries improve their arm and hand function.
-
Robotically implanted brain-computer interface for controlling devices
This study is testing a new brain implant and robot to see if they can help people with severe movement limitations control devices more easily.
-
Improving hand function in cervical spinal cord injury with nerve transfers and electrical stimulation
This study is testing if using electrical stimulation during and after nerve surgery can help people with cervical spinal cord injuries regain hand function and feel less pain.
-
Robotically implanted brain-computer interface for patients with severe paralysis
This study is testing a new brain implant that uses a robot to help people with severe paralysis communicate and control devices better.
-
Remote training program for manual wheelchair skills
This study tests whether a remote training program with peer coaching can help people improve their manual wheelchair skills and mobility.
-
Telehealth intervention combining exercise and stimulation for people with tetraplegia
This study is testing whether a new home-based program that combines special exercises and nerve stimulation can help people with tetraplegia improve their movement and quality of life.
-
Improving hand function after spinal cord injury using electrical stimulation
This study is testing if a new way of using electrical stimulation on the brain and spinal cord can help people with cervical spinal cord injuries regain better control and movement in their arms and hands.
