Spinal cord stimulation with walking therapy for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial combines a non-surgical treatment that uses small electrical pulses on the skin over the spinal cord with specialized walking exercises to help people with long-term spinal cord injuries improve their movement and walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a spinal cord injury for at least 6 months and it affects your trunk or legs (not your arms or neck).
- Your injury is incomplete, meaning you still have some feeling or movement below the injury level.
- You are between 16 and 50 years old.
- You can understand and rate your pain using a simple scale.
- You are not currently in another research study.
- You are not pregnant, or are willing to use birth control if you could get pregnant.

This study tests whether non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve your ability to stand and walk after a spinal cord injury. It explores how your brain and spinal cord can adapt and rebuild connections to help you move better.
This trial tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation on the back can help improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It uses a device that sends small currents through the skin to the spinal cord.
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 trial studies whether a spinal cord stimulation approach plus rehab can improve function and safety in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury who cannot walk. It may help people by supporting rehabilitation over time, but it requires surgery and specific health and imaging conditions.
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 if mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help children ages 3 to 16 with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk better. It is important for children who still have some movement in their legs but need extra help to improve their walking.
