Using brain signals to control a powered exoskeleton
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface can help you control a powered leg exoskeleton. If you have stable long-term nerve/movement problems and need better mobility, the device may help you move with more independence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 45 years old
- Have stable nerve/movement symptoms (not rapidly changing) for a long-standing problem
- Feel that your current mobility and quality of life are not adequately helped and you want more independence
- Be able to do the study in French (and complete questionnaires) and have French social security
- Be able to take part while you are able to walk or while you are in the hospital for monitoring

This trial tests a surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) system designed to help people with severe spinal cord injuries regain some ability to move or control devices using their thoughts. The device reads signals directly from the brain to bypass the injured spinal cord.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device implanted in the brain) to help people with tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) regain some motor function. It is for patients who have been stable for at least six months after a brainstem or spinal cord injury.
This study tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices like a computer or tablet just by thinking. It is for people with paralysis or severe weakness in both arms due to conditions like spinal cord injury, ALS, or stroke.
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) device designed to help people with severe arm paralysis—from conditions like ALS or stroke—regain some ability to control their arms. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into arm movements, potentially helping you perform daily activities.
This trial tests a walking device called an exoskeleton to help people with leg weakness or movement problems. It's designed to see if using the exoskeleton regularly over time can help improve walking or mobility.
This trial tests a “brain-to-spinal” and “spinal-to-brain” device to improve control and signals after a spinal cord injury at the C4–C6 level. It involves an implanted recording system and monitoring sessions to see if the system works and is safe.
