A progress report on the spinal cord rehabilitation research initiatives based on registered clinical from 2000 to 2022.

The current rehabilitation therapy protocols for management of individuals with spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/D) aim to maximize restoration of remaining function and minimize secondary health conditions. Also, several novel rehabilitation therapies for management of SCI/D have been reshaping the field over the past two decades. This scoping review analyzes the trends and features of the recently completed and ongoing clinical studies on the rehabilitation of individuals with spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/D) that were registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov website. Furthermore, this in-depth review synthesizes and appraises what was learned and what will potentially be discovered in the near future from the clinical studies on the rehabilitation after SCI/D.
