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 study tests a new technology that uses electrical stimulation on the back, guided by artificial intelligence, to help people with spinal cord injuries improve their leg movement and walking. It also includes a small group of healthy volunteers to help calibrate the system.
This trial tests whether adding spinal cord stimulation to walking practice can improve leg movement and recovery after a recent spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more strength and function in your legs.
This study tests whether intensive physiotherapy with a robotic exoskeleton helps people with spinal cord injuries improve movement and function. The robot supports your legs while you practice walking, aiming to boost recovery.
This study tests whether using a powered walking exoskeleton together with a mild spinal cord stimulation device can improve muscle and bone strength in people with long-term spinal cord injuries. If you qualify, you'd use the exoskeleton during therapy sessions while researchers watch for changes in your leg muscles and bones.
This study tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with an exoskeleton can help people with chronic spinal cord injury walk better. It aims to improve mobility and may lead to new rehabilitation options.
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.
