Where this list comes from
Trials are pulled daily from the ClinicalTrials.gov registry and tagged by what they study and what they target. This page reflects the 2026-09-12 refresh of the 2,167 spinal cord injury trials SCI.help tracks. Eligibility criteria, study contacts, exact sites, and results live on each trial's ClinicalTrials.gov record, linked above. The full dataset is public at /data/sci_trials.min.json.
Before contacting a study team, read clinical trials and SCI research, honestly and how to spot a predatory "trial".
