Clinical Trials in Acute Brain Injury & Spinal Cord Injury

Clinical Trials in Acute Brain Injury & Spinal Cord Injury

With collaborators in Neurosurgery, we are launching several early phase clinical trials in acute brain injury and spinal cord injury.

  • In Safety of Transcutaneous Electrical stimulation Potentiating Recovery in Acute spinal cord Injury SyndromEs (STEP-RAISE), we will conduct a combined Phase 1 and Phase 2 pilot clinical trial of non-invasive transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS), and track the course of neurophysiological recovery following aSCI with granular objective outcome measures to determine whether implementation of early tSCS below the level of lesion can safely augment the functional recovery. More information can be found here. 

  • We are working with industry partners to improve point of care technology integrating AI to better identify pathophysiology in acute brain injury at the ICU bedside, such as non-invasive ways to identify raised intracranial pressure.

  • Dr. Hinson also serves as the medical monitor from the TRACK-TBI Network adaptive platform trial.
