Spinal cord stimulation for Parkinson's walking rehab
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin on your lower back (called spinal cord stimulation) can help improve walking and movement in people with Parkinson's disease. It involves some rehabilitation exercises, and the goal is to see if this combination can help you move better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether targeted electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve movement and reduce symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. It is for those who have had Parkinson's for at least five years, are still responding to levodopa but have motor fluctuations.
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
This study tests a personalized brain stimulation system to help improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's. If you have trouble with gait and posture despite treatment, this trial may explore whether a tailored stimulation loop can offer additional benefit.
This trial tests if a small device placed near your spine (spinal cord stimulation) can help improve freezing of gait in people with advanced Parkinson's whose medicines aren't enough. It also aims to reduce leg pain if you have it.
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 trial studies whether spinal cord stimulation can improve symptoms in people with parkinsonism (Parkinson-like movement problems). It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helpful for the right patients.
