Despite promising basic science discoveries and a surge in clinical trials, the quest for effective treatments that restore neurological function after spinal cord injury lags on. While "failed" in a conventional sense, emerging solutions to longstanding challenges represent promising steps towards a future with effective interventions. In this personal view, we highlight clinical trials implementing new solutions and their impact on the field. Our perspective is that, ultimately, the integration of shared knowledge, adaptive designs, and a deeper understanding of the intricacies of spinal cord injury holds promise of unlocking of major breakthroughs, leading to improved outcomes for people with spinal cord injury.
