Electrical stimulation and physical therapy for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining electrical stimulation of the spinal cord with personalized physical therapy can improve leg and foot function after a spinal cord injury. If it works, it might help you move better and do more daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 70 years old.
- Your spinal cord injury is stable, meaning it hasn't changed for at least 3 months.
- You can join physical therapy sessions 3 to 5 times a week for at least 3 weeks.
- You are fully awake and able to understand and agree to the study.
- You don't have severe brain injury, severe fractures, joint problems, a pacemaker, or be pregnant.

This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spine can be safely used for people with spinal cord injury. If you have had a surgery to stabilize your spine, this stimulation could help with recovery.
This study tests whether a non-invasive device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can improve your ability to exercise. It is for people who have had a spinal cord injury for at least a year and are medically stable.
This trial tests whether adding spinal cord stimulation to walking practice can improve leg movement and recovery after a recent spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more strength and function in your legs.
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 tests a spinal cord stimulation device to help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain leg movement. It aims to improve muscle control and function.
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).
