Spinal Cord Injury Trial Phases
69 research organizations are sponsoring spinal cord injury trials.
About Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord that causes loss of function, mobility, or sensation below the injury site. It can result in paraplegia or quadriplegia depending on the level of injury. Research is exploring regenerative therapies, electrical stimulation, and rehabilitation technologies.
Clinical trials are advancing new treatments for spinal cord injury. Currently, 100 studies are recruiting a combined 3,063,908 participants across the United States. Research is being conducted by 69 organizations including American Academy of Pediatrics, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Nebraska and 66 others.
2026 Spinal Cord Injury Research Landscape
As of July 2026, the spinal cord injury clinical trial landscape includes 100 actively recruiting studies across 88 cities in the United States. These studies are collectively seeking 3,063,908 participants, with an average enrollment target of 30,639 per study.
The research spans multiple phases of development: 62 studies are in NA, 5 studies are in PHASE2, 5 studies are in PHASE4, 3 studies are in EARLY_PHASE1, 2 studies are in PHASE3, 1 study is in PHASE1. The presence of Phase 3 trials indicates that some spinal cord injury treatments are in late-stage testing and may be approaching regulatory review.
Research is being led by 69 different organizations, including American Academy of Pediatrics, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Nebraska, Erin Rothwell, Robert G.

Delivery Room Intervention and Evaluation Network
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) convened the multi-center Delivery Room Intervention and Evaluation (DRIVE) Network to establish essential infrastructure to collect, coordinate, and analyze core demographic, resuscitative, and outcome data for an inclusive and diverse population of infants who receive delivery room resuscitation at participating centers. The DRIVE Network consists of deli...
Supraglottic Airway for Resuscitation Trial
This is a hybrid type 3 effectiveness-implementation parallel cluster randomized superiority trial designed to compare two strategies to promote early supraglottic airway (SA) rescue during neonatal resuscitation, with a focus on implementation outcomes.
Behavioral Economic & Staffing Strategies in the ICU
The overarching goal of this study is to support the "real world" assessment of strategies used to foster adoption of several highly efficacious evidence-based practices in healthcare systems that provide care to critically ill adults with known health disparities. Investigators will specifically evaluate two discrete strategies grounded in behavioral economic and implementation science theory (i....
