Spinal cord stimulation for leg problems in adrenomyeloneuropathy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a small device placed near your spinal cord (called epidural spinal cord stimulation) to see if it can help improve leg movement and stiffness in people with adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). If you have AMN and trouble walking due to leg stiffness, this study may explore a new option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a genetic test showing you have adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN).
- Your legs need to be stiff or tight due to increased muscle tone (affecting both legs).
- You should be able to communicate clearly and fill out questionnaires without help.
- You cannot have any metal in your body (like a pacemaker or insulin pump) that would stop you from getting an MRI.
- You must not be taking blood thinners, muscle relaxants, or seizure medications during the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a spinal cord stimulator to reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) after a stroke. If you've had arm or leg tightness that hasn't improved with other treatments, this device might help you move more easily.
This trial tests if spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your spinal cord) can help relieve long-lasting nerve pain in your arm or leg that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It's for people who have had this pain for at least 6 months and are willing to try a new approach.
This study tests a treatment that uses a small device to send electrical signals to your spinal cord, combined with physical therapy to help you move better. It is for people with long-term spinal cord damage that causes nerve pain and makes it hard to stand or walk.
This trial tests a combination of two non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation techniques to help people with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury regain leg movement. If you have some leg function, this therapy might help you walk better and improve your independence.
This trial tests an implanted nerve stimulation approach to help people with certain spinal cord injuries regain more voluntary movement. It may help if your injury pattern and MRI findings suggest there are still usable nerve fibers that can be targeted.
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.
