Stimulation and robotic walking training for incomplete spinal injuries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were diagnosed with traumatic spinal cord injury between 6 months and 5 years ago, and you cannot walk by yourself
- You’re between 21 and 65 years old
- Your spinal cord injury is incomplete (ASIA grade B to D)
- Your injury is in a certain body area (T1 to L1, or C2 to C8)
- You may qualify if you can use a consent form and your neurosurgeon/orthopedic surgeon approves tSCS and exoskeleton training

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 home-based rehabilitation program that uses mild electrical stimulation on the spine to help improve arm and hand function in people with tetraplegia. It aims to see if the program is safe, helpful, and practical for daily use.
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 study tests if combining spinal cord stimulation with walking training helps improve leg movement and recovery in people with a recent spinal cord injury (between 1 week and 6 months ago). It is designed for those who can stand for at least 10 minutes with or without help.
This trial tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with arm and hand exercises can improve strength and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more control in your daily activities.
This trial tests a therapy that uses a brain-controlled device to stimulate your spinal cord while you practice walking. It aims to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury improve their walking ability.
