Spinal Research is the UK's leading charity funding medical research around the world to develop reliable treatments for paralysis.
Over 105,000 people are living with a spinal cord injury in the UK. A spinal cord injury affects not just your mobility and sensation, but also the functioning of your bladder, bowel, skin, breathing and sexual function. Spinal Research believe in a future where paralysis is no longer a life sentence.
We exist to cure paralysis.
Over the last 40 years our work has helped deliver some of the major scientific breakthroughs needed to understand the biology of the spinal cord, and importantly what is needed to repair it. Today there are research facilities around the world developing a range of cutting-edge treatment pathways, some of which are now in clinical trial.
With promising results taking place, the first generation of treatments for paralysis is within our grasp.
