Treating Cognitive Deficits in Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
NCT03985540 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effectiveness of a memory retraining program and a processing speed program in a spinal cord injured (SCI) population. The study is designed to research how well different types of techniques can help people with SCI improve in areas where they might have difficulties such as memory or processing speed, (time it takes to process information provided).

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03985540
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03985540 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 104 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Kessler Foundation, which has 363 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Spinal Cord Injuries appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Behavorial; memory exercise is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03985540 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New Jersey. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
