New brain and spine stimulation for spinal cord injury recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of non-invasive stimulation (brain and spine) to help improve movement in people with spinal cord injury. It targets arm, leg, or trunk function depending on your injury level.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 to 70 years old
- Spinal cord injury that happened more than 6 months ago
- Some remaining muscle function in arms, legs, or trunk (confirmed by simple tests)
- Must be able to attend study sessions for up to 2 months
- No metal implants in head or spine, no pacemaker, and no history of seizures

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 study tests whether a non-invasive device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can improve your ability to exercise. It is for people who have had a spinal cord injury for at least a year and are medically stable.
This study tests whether applying gentle electrical stimulation to the brain and spinal cord can help improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. The stimulation is non-invasive, meaning it is done from the outside without surgery, and is combined with hand training exercises.
This study tests combining two types of non-invasive stimulation—one on the head and one on the neck—to help improve arm and hand function in people with a cervical spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more control and strength in your arms.
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over your spine can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury or stroke. It is for people with some preserved movement in their upper body.
This trial tests a treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the upper spine to help improve arm and hand function after a recent spinal cord injury. It is for people who are in the hospital and have injury levels between C1 and C8.
