Spinal cord stimulation and walking therapy for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation to the spinal cord, combined with a special walking and movement training called Kunming locomotor training, can help improve movement and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury.
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
- Your injury is in the upper-to-mid back (T1 to T10) and is incomplete (some feeling or movement below the injury)
- You are between 16 and 50 years old
- You are able to read and understand a pain rating scale
- You agree to take part in the study and sign a consent form

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 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 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 trial tests a therapy that uses a brain-controlled device to stimulate your spinal cord while you practice walking. It aims to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury improve their walking ability.
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.
