Spinal cord stimulation for leg function
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve leg function in people with a spinal cord injury. It's for those who already need a stimulator for chronic pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have a stable spinal cord injury (from one event) between neck level C6 and upper back level T10
- Your injury happened more than 12 months ago
- You have some feeling below your injury (AIS grade B or C) but limited movement
- You have chronic low back or leg pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments, and you are getting a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) for that pain

This trial tests if combining electrical stimulation of the spinal cord with personalized physical therapy can help improve leg movement in people with spinal cord injury. It may be an option if you have a stable injury between the upper back and lower back and can commit to frequent therapy sessions.
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 study tests whether a device placed near the spinal cord in your neck (called an epidural stimulator) can help improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. It's designed for people with a long-term, motor-complete injury between the C4 and C7 levels.
This study tests how spinal cord stimulation affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injuries. It aims to understand the physiological effects using EEG (a brainwave test).
This trial tests a spinal cord stimulation device to help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain leg movement. It aims to improve muscle control and function.
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.
