Study of walking and bladder recovery after recent spinal injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how leg movement and bladder function change after an acute spinal cord injury. It’s meant for adults who recently injured their spine and cannot stand or move their leg joints on their own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- Your spinal cord injury is non-progressive and stable (not getting worse over time)
- You cannot stand or take steps by yourself, and you can’t voluntarily move all the leg joints
- Your bladder problems are caused by the spinal cord injury
- Your injury must be between T1 and T10, and you must be within 1 year of the injury
- You are not currently taking anti-spasticity medicines, and you did not have Botox in the last 6 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a nerve-stimulation treatment placed near the spinal cord to help people with long-term, non-worsening spinal cord injuries. It aims to see if stimulation can improve key functions like movement, bladder control, and breathing/standing safety.
This study tests whether non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve your ability to stand and walk after a spinal cord injury. It explores how your brain and spinal cord can adapt and rebuild connections to help you move better.
This study tests whether spinal cord stimulation combined with training can improve your ability to move your legs and do daily tasks. You may be able to join if you have a traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury (or, in some cases, if you’re a healthy volunteer).
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve bladder, bowel, and other automatic body functions during inpatient rehab after a recent spinal cord injury. It's for people who have a non-worsening injury at or above the T6 level and are within 4 months of their injury.
This trial studies whether epidural (back-of-spine) stimulation plus guided resistance training can improve strength and function after a traumatic spinal cord injury. It may help people who have an intact nerve pathway below their injury level and can safely use a rehab exoskeleton.
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.
