Targeted HD-tDCS to Improve Upper Limb Rehabilitation in SCI
NCT05589415 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The proposed project seeks to maximize the functional recovery achieved during the rehabilitation of the paretic upper limbs in individuals with SCI. The investigation will work towards optimizing the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), an adjunct known to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation. In particular, the relationship between the specificity of current delivery and functional benefit will be explored, and findings may lead to a framework that can be translated to the clinic setting.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05589415
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05589415 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. 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 24 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, which has 33 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Spinal Cord Injuries appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which High-definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation 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: NCT05589415 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Texas. 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.
