Noninvasive brain and nerve stimulation with walking therapy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a noninvasive electrical stimulation applied to the outside of the body, paired with physical therapy, can improve movement and walking for people with neurologic conditions. You may be asked to complete regular therapy sessions and simple movement tasks while the team measures your progress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a neurologic condition (a problem affecting the brain, nerves, or spinal cord).
- You can walk about 20 yards (roughly 60 feet), with or without a walking aid.
- Your health is stable enough to take part, and you can follow 2–3 step instructions for simple movement tasks.
- You can attend up to 5 study sessions per week for as long as 11 months.
- You can read and speak English, and you have someone who can support you during sessions.
- You are willing to volunteer for the study.

This study tests a short-term treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the back to help reduce leg stiffness and improve walking in people with cerebral palsy. It may help you move more easily.
This study tests whether a device placed on the back can help improve leg movement and walking ability after a spinal cord injury. It combines the device with supervised physical therapy over many weeks to see if it helps with daily mobility.
This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
This study tests whether spinal stimulation (a gentle surface stimulation on your back and legs) combined with walking practice can help improve your mobility after a traumatic brain injury. It's a research treatment that may help you walk better and with more confidence.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called neuromodulation) can improve walking, balance, and other movements in adults with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). It may be a good fit if you can walk with or without help, have stable spasticity medications, and don't have a pacemaker or epilepsy.
This study looks at how the brain controls walking in healthy people. You will walk on a treadmill while we measure your brain activity and leg muscles. It helps us understand normal walking so we can better help people with walking problems.
