Opportunities for Participation in Research by Christine Olney
Dear Veterans, The purpose of this column is to inform you about ongoing research in our community, towards improving your quality of life as a person living with a spinal cord injury or disease. Each month we will share several ongoing studies and state whether they are looking for Veterans and others with SCI/D to participate by the words “ACTIVELY RECRUITING”. Not all studies showcased in this column will be in the recruitment phase. If you are interested in helping scientists, please call the contact number associated with that study. You will be compensated if you participate.
Title: Biomarkers for Pressure Injury Risk ACTIVELY RECRUITING The aim of this study is to enable early identification of individuals predisposed to pressure injury. Any Veteran with a SCI/D can call to learn if they can participate Contact information: Christine Olney 612-467-3001 or Christine.Olney@va.gov
Title: A Clinical Trial of Cognitive Multisensory Rehabilitation for Sensory and Motor Recovery in Adults with Spinal Cord Injury [A PVA funded study] ACTIVELY RECRUITING The aim of this study is to evaluate two different interventions to improve sensation and movement in adults with spinal cord injury. Any Veteran with a SCI/D who is at least 3 months out (no end date limit) from a spinal cord injury, can self-transfer and some reduction of sensation and/or movement after their spinal cord injury.
