Spinal Cord Injuries clinical trials
The registry lists 2,025 studies for Spinal Cord Injuries across more than 10 countries. 537 are recruiting or about to start. 1,623 of them are mainly about Spinal Cord Injuries (how this is decided). Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-12. Counting its 2 narrower conditions too, such as Spinal Cord Compression: 2,076 studies, 553 open.
ClinicalTrials.gov finds 2,261 studies for Spinal Cord Injuries. How that becomes 2,023 here
This page counts the studies the registry files under Spinal Cord Injuries, and those it files under no condition that list Spinal Cord Injuriesthemselves. Each study its search finds is placed by how the registry filed it and by the conditions it lists. ClinicalTrials.gov counts as of Nov 8, 2026. How condition pages count
- 2,261Found by its condition searchIt reads the conditions a study lists and their synonyms, and also titles and keywords.
- −45Filed under a narrower condition, counted on its own pageSpinal Cord Compression 40 · Autonomic Dysreflexia 5
- −47List Spinal Cord Injuries as a condition, but the registry did not file them under itMost often written as “Cervical Spinal Cord Injury” (17), “Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury” (10), and “Spinal Cord Injury Cervical” (6). The registry filed them under other conditions only, most often Quadriplegia (17) and Stroke (9).
- −146Match it another way77 name it in the title, 11 in a keyword, and 58 by a synonym or other text the search reads.
- 2,023The count on this page78 of them list Spinal Cord Injuries in their own words; the registry filed them under no condition.

How long Spinal Cord Injuries studies take
Of 51 phase 1 interventional studies under Spinal Cord Injuries, half reached primary completion within 36 months of starting, counting those still running.
| Start to primary completion | Every sponsor | Industry | Non-industry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 36 mo24–55 · 51 studies | — | 38 mo25–55 · 40 studies |
| Phase 1/2 | 30 mo24–60 · 24 studies | — | — |
| Phase 2 | 46 mo28–64 · 49 studies | — | 46 mo28–64 · 44 studies |
| Phase 4 | 42 mo26–63 · 19 studies | — | — |
| Interventional, no phase | 36 mo17–64 · 839 studies | 12 mo6–28 · 49 studies | 37 mo18–65 · 790 studies |
| Observational | 39 mo16–78 · 135 studies | — | 36 mo16–74 · 124 studies |
Each figure is the month by which half the studies had reached primary completion, with the range in which the middle half did. Studies still running count until their last registry update; studies that stopped early are left out. Phase 1 includes early phase 1; observational means prospective or not stated, as retrospective and cross-sectional studies date a window of data rather than a study. How these figures are worked out
