-ClincalTrials.gov
The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), through its National Library of Medicine (NLM), has developed ClinicalTrials.gov to provide current information about clinical research studies to patients, family members and members of the public. Before searching, you may want to learn more about clinical trials and more about this web site. Check often for regular updates.
-RehabTrials.org
www.rehabtrials.org
In 1999, encouraged by the leadership ofJoe l DeLisa, M.D., the Kessler Medical Rehabilitation Research and Education Corporation (KMRREC) set out to develop a strategic plan and vision for the next decade. The plan reflects the mission, vision and values of KMRREC, and includes a desire to increase collaboration, communication and education initiatives aimed at a broad audience of professionals, scientists and consumers. RehabTrials.org is the product of an informal team of researchers at KMRREC interested in using the World Wide Web to encourage and support an increase in clinical trial activity in medical rehabilitation. Whenever possible throughout the site, contributors are identified and links are provided for additional biographic information.

-CenterWatch
This site has a wealth of information related to clinical trials, such as a listing of more than 41,000 industry- and government-sponsored clinical trials as well as new drug therapies recently approved by the FDA. Center Watch's website is designed to be a resource for both patients interested in participating in clinical trials and for research professionals. CenterWatch is a division of the Thomson Corporation.
-The Reeve-Irvine Research Center
The Reeve-Irvine Research Center has been established to study injuries to and diseases of the spinal cord that result in paralysis or other loss of neurologic function, with the goal of finding a cure. Named for actor Christopher Reeve, the Center is part of the College of Medicine of the University of California, Irvine. The Reeve-Irvine Research Center is located in the Gillespie Neuroscience Research Facility and is led by Dr. Oswald Steward. Activities under the Center's auspices promote the coordination and cooperation of scientists around the world seeking a cure for paraplegia and quadriplegia and amelioration of diseases impacting neurological function.
-W.M. Keck Foundation Center for Integrative Neuroscience
The W.M. Keck Foundation Center for Integrative Neuroscience was established at UC San Francisco in 1990 to seek answers to questions such as these. Within the Keck Center, more than eighty scientists in ten laboratories are discovering how we see and hear, how we move our limbs, why we feel pain, how we learn and remember, and how we speak and understand language. Research is focused on questions of how the nerve cells in brains work together to generate human behaviors, rather than on the operation of the nerve cells themselves.
-The Rehabilitation Research Center
For the past quarter century Santa Clara Valley Medical Center has been actively involved in the "Model Systems" projects sponsored by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research. These projects allowed centers of excellence to expand in the areas of clinical improvement, outcome research, and community programs. The work of Past Principal Investigators has greatly improved the field of rehabilitation and the lives of individuals with brain and spinal cord injuries. The RRC staff continue to work closely with the clinical staff to enhance the care offered during inpatient rehabilitation, develop continuity of care after discharge, and conduct TBI & SCI-related research.
-The International Center for Spinal Cord Injury at Kennedy Krieger Institute
Internationally recognized for improving the lives of children and adolescents with disorders and injuries of the brain and spinal cord, Baltimore, Md.’s Kennedy Krieger Institute serves more than 13,000 children each year through inpatient and day treatment programs, outpatient clinics, home and community services and school-based programs.
-Spinal Cord Injury Information Network: Research Studies
The Spinal Cord Injury Information Network is funded through grants to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Secondary Conditions of Spinal Cord Injury and the UAB Model SCI Center.
