Restoration of Hand Function in Cervical SCI
NCT06611748 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new method of restoring hand function to people with spinal cord injury. Current methods to restore hand function include tendon transfers and nerve transfers. This study will evaluate the grasp strength that can be achieved with a small, implantable stimulator. KeyGrip is an investigational device that works by activating paralyzed muscles with low levels of electrical current. The word "investigational" means the study device is still being tested in research studies and is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the use being studied. Hypothesis. The study is designed to explore the feasibility of this approach; no hypothesis is planned at this stage

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06611748
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06611748 describes a study currently listed as 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 20 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is MetroHealth Medical Center, which has 29 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 Injury Cervical appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Key Grip 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: NCT06611748 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. 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.
