The International Center for Spinal Cord Injury (ICSCI) at Kennedy Krieger Institute center helps children and adults with spinal cord injuries and paralysis caused by accidents, strokes, tumors, birth defects and other causes. Treatment goals include improvement of health and optimal recovery of day-to-day and neurologic function.

We are dedicated to curing spinal cord injury by advancing innovative research and improving quality of life for individuals and families impacted by paralysis.

"Today’s Care. Tomorrow’s Cure." reflects the dual purpose set forth by Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation to provide a continuum of hope for individuals living with paralysis worldwide.

The Craig H. Neilsen Foundation is the largest private funder of spinal cord injury research, rehabilitation, clinical training, and programmatic support in the United States and Canada. The Foundation partners with scientific, charitable and educational organizations conducting spinal cord injury research, training in spinal cord medicine, and supports grassroots organizations providing services to assist individuals affected by spinal cord injury. Drawing ongoing inspiration from its founder, the Foundation is dedicated to a future where individuals with spinal cord injuries live full and productive lives as active participants in their communities.

ANEUVO is developing revolutionary bioelectronic medicine to help restore functional independence, improve quality of life, and create a healthier and more equitable world for people living with chronic diseases and conditions.

The ExaStim® Stimulation System, ANEUVO’s flagship device, delivers targeted and selective spinal cord stimulation, non-invasively, to facilitate the restoration of damaged corticospinal connections, aid patients in regaining voluntary motor control, promote locomotion, and regulate autonomic function. It is unique in the novel design of its flexible, multi-channel electrode array, portable pulse generator, and proprietary app-based programming platform.

ExaStim is being evaluated in the ASPIRE™ Study, a randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial, taking place at 14 leading centers throughout the U.S. The study is investigating the safety and performance of the system for improvement and restoration of function in upper limb paralysis due to chronic, traumatic adult spinal cord injury.
Caution: Investigational device. Limited by U.S. law to investigational use.
