SCI Clinical Trials in Missouri

41 spinal cord injury clinical trials list a study site in Missouri, and 7 are currently open to new participants. Every trial below links to its full ClinicalTrials.gov record for eligibility, contacts and exact locations. Trial sites are tracked at state level, so a listed trial may run at one hospital in Missouri or several. Last refreshed 2026-09-12.

⚠️
This is research, not treatment. A clinical trial is a study. It may involve a placebo, carries unknown risks, and is not a substitute for proven care. Be wary of any "trial" that charges you to take part. Talk with your SCI doctor before enrolling, and read the full eligibility and risks on ClinicalTrials.gov. Not medical advice.
