Clinical trials

The goal of this study is to identify the effect of different types of noninvasive spinal stimulation on spasticity (involuntary muscle activity), muscle strength, and pain in people with spinal cord injury. The spinal stimulation consists of electrical stimulation applied through one electrode over the skin of the lower back and two electrodes over the stomach. Testing will include participating in measurements before the intervention, during intervention, and immediately after the intervention. This study requires participants to come into Shepherd Center 4 consecutive days a week for 2-3 hours per day across 2-3 weeks.

The purpose of this research is to determine whether military veterans and service members with mild traumatic brain injury with and without co-occurring substance use can complete and benefit from integrated interdisciplinary care individualized to their symptoms, goals, and needs. Participants will complete surveys about substance use and other symptoms at the beginning and end of treatment in an intensive outpatient program and 6 months after discharge.
