Electrical Stimulation
for Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a central nervous system injury that often leads to motor dysfunction. Non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord has been recognized as a potential method of reactivating lost spinal neural networks to improve motor recovery and exercise response after SCI. Trans-spinal electrical stimulation (ts-ES) has been found to increase functional gains in people after SCI when applied in combination with other motor training protocols. This project aims to evaluate the effects of non-invasive lumbar spinal cord electrical stimulation on the motor function of trunk and lower limbs in people with SCI after augmenting their locomotor training (treadmill stepping) with step-cycle-based electrical peripheral neural stimulation methods.

Intraspinal Pressure Monitoring
for Spinal Cord Injury
Intraspinal pressure monitoring has been advanced as a potential technique for evaluating spinal cord perfusion after traumatic spinal cord injury. In this study, the investigators aim to validate the technique for insertion of a fiberoptic pressure monitoring device in the subarachnoid space at the site of injury for measurement of intraspinal pressure and spinal cord perfusion pressure. The primary objective of this study is to validate the methodology of invasive intraspinal pressure monitoring to derive parameters for optimal spinal cord perfusion pressure, spinal cord reserve capacity and spinal reactivity index using data obtained during the patient's stay in the intensive care unit. Secondary objectives of this study will be to a) evaluate the safety of invasive intraspinal pressure monitoring, b) prospectively evaluate the overall relationship between spinal cord perfusion pressure and functional outcomes in patients with acute traumatic spinal cord injury and c) evaluate the relationship between spinal cord perfusion pressure, motor evoked potentials and functional outcomes after incomplete spinal cord injury.

Spinal Stimulation
for Spinal Cord Injury
This trial is testing a method where small electrical currents are applied through the skin to stimulate the spinal cord. It aims to help people with spinal cord injuries improve their ability to move. The electrical signals may enhance communication between the brain and muscles, leading to better motor function. This technique has been explored for various applications, including pain control and muscle stimulation, and is now being tested for improving motor function in spinal cord injury patients.
