Neural feedback training for people with leg amputations
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve-based “feedback” system can help people with below-knee or above-knee amputations during standing and walking. It focuses on whether the training and device setup are safe and workable for participants over the study period.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult (18 or older).
- You have a stable leg amputation (below-knee or above-knee) that’s been present for more than 3 months.
- You’re able and willing to use a prosthesis for standing or walking.
- Your healthcare team must confirm there are usable nerves in your lower limb for stimulation and feedback.
- You must have skin that can handle device placement (good skin health and hygiene), and you must be able to follow study visits and procedures.
- You can’t have medical or safety problems that make nerve stimulation unsafe (like certain heart problems, seizure disorders, or specific uncontrolled conditions).

This trial tests a new nerve surgery technique to help people with above-knee leg amputations have better control of their prosthetic leg. The goal is to improve how well the prosthesis responds to your movements.
This trial tests if a noninvasive electrical stimulator (NMES) placed on the residual leg can reduce pain and improve muscle and function in people with a below-knee amputation. It aims to offer a drug-free option for managing chronic limb pain.
This study looks at whether tiny implanted sensors in a nerve can record brain/nerve signals and use them to provide feedback for people with a transradial arm amputation. If it works, it could help improve control or awareness with a prosthetic hand or related devices.
This study tests a new powered ankle prosthesis (an artificial foot with a motor) that you control using signals from your nerves and receive feedback through gentle stimulation on your skin. The goal is to see if it helps you walk more naturally and perform daily activities with better balance and control.
This study tests whether a new prosthetic foot can help people with a lower-limb amputation walk better. You will use your current foot and the new foot, and we will measure how well you walk.
This study looks at how people with a leg amputation change the way they walk to make up for lost function. It may help improve rehabilitation and prosthetic care.
