Exoskeleton and spinal stimulation for long-term spinal cord injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an external walking-assist device (an exoskeleton) plus targeted spinal cord stimulation can help people with long-term spinal cord injury. It may be designed for wheelchair users who meet specific nerve function and bone health requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal cord injury and it has been more than 6 years since the injury
- You are 18 to 65 years old
- Your nerve function tests show a lower-leg motor score of 16 or higher
- Your spinal cord injury level is between C5 and T10 (in the upper-to-mid back area)
- You use a wheelchair 100% of the time (not a walker)

This study tests a combination of a robotic walking device and spinal cord stimulation to see if it helps improve muscle and bone health in people who have had a spinal cord injury for more than 3 years and cannot walk.
This trial will test a self-balancing personal exoskeleton for people with spinal cord injuries. It may help you walk again and improve your mobility.
This trial tests if a smart spinal cord stimulation device can improve leg movement in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. The device adjusts stimulation in real time to help you walk better.
This trial tests a wearable robot (exoskeleton) that helps people with spinal cord injuries walk at home. If you have a chronic injury and a helper, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a wearable exoskeleton can help people with recent spinal cord injury improve their walking ability and quality of life. It focuses on patients treated in the Spanish healthcare system.
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the spinal area plus robotic gait training can improve walking function in people with a traumatic spinal cord injury who are not walking independently. It’s meant for people with incomplete injuries where some nerve signals still work, and who can safely use the robotic exoskeleton.
