Clinical Trials Daniel C Lu, MD, PhD is currently running
Neuromodulation
for Spinal Cord Injury
This trial tests a small device placed near the neck's spinal cord to help people with severe spinal injuries who need ventilators. It aims to see if electrical signals from the device can improve their breathing. The study focuses on adults aged 18-75 with injuries between C2 and C7 vertebrae. The goal is to reduce the need for ventilators in these patients.

Epidural Electrical Stimulation
for Spinal Cord Disorders
Opioid overdose suppresses brainstem respiratory circuits, causes apnea, and may result in death. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) at the cervical spinal cord facilitated motor activity in rodents and humans, and we hypothesized that EES of the cervical spinal cord could antagonize opioid-induced respiratory depression in humans. In this study, we will stimulate the spinal cord during surgery and assess its effects on respiratory function in human patients.
