Walking therapy with spinal stimulation for TBI recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if combining spinal stimulation with walking training can help people with traumatic brain injury walk better. It might be an option if you have weakness on one side and have been stable for a while.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a closed head injury (no object entered your skull) at least 2 years ago.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have weakness on at least one side of your body but can walk 10 yards with minimal help, using a walker if needed.
- You have not had any hospital visits, surgeries, or therapy for walking in the past 30 days.
- You do not have any metal implants, uncontrolled seizures, or heart problems.
- You are not pregnant and are willing to follow the study rules.

This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
This study tests a new way to help people with spinal cord injury improve their walking. If you have some ankle movement but still need support to walk, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether adding a type of electrical stimulation to leg muscles during walking can improve walking ability for people who are at least 6 months past a stroke. If you have weakness on one side and can walk on a treadmill with some help, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation method (“cortical priming”) can improve walking after a stroke. It may help people with ongoing walking problems improve gait and leg control over a rehabilitation program.
This trial studies a combination of treatments to help people with certain types of spinal cord injury regain some movement and feeling over time. If you meet the specific injury and health criteria, you may be asked to do simple walking and assessment tests during treatment.
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.
