Spinal stimulation frequencies for spasticity after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests how different frequencies of spinal stimulation affect spasticity, movement, and pain after a spinal cord injury. It may help if you have leg spasticity and no implanted devices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 16 years old
- Had a spinal cord injury at least 3 months ago (any severity)
- Have measurable spasticity (stiff or tight muscles) in your legs
- No implanted devices like a baclofen pump, spinal cord stimulator, heart defibrillator, or diaphragm pacemaker
- Your injury must be above the T12 level (upper or middle part of the spine)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (like a gentle magnetic pulse) to see if it can reduce muscle stiffness and spasms in the legs after a spinal cord injury. It may be a good option if you have ongoing leg stiffness and want a drug-free approach.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve movement and muscle control in people with spinal cord injury. If you've had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are between 20-70 years old, this might help improve leg function and walking.
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 study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects the body over time after a spinal cord injury. It may help understand if this treatment can improve nerve function and overall health.
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 stimulating the nerves in your spine (via an epidural device) can improve rehab-related function after a spinal cord injury. It focuses on people with stable, motor-complete paraplegia and long-term injuries, and it compares how you respond to the stimulation during rehabilitation.
