Spinal cord stimulation plus therapy for leg function
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if combining electrical stimulation of the spinal cord with personalized physical therapy can help improve leg movement in people with spinal cord injury. It may be an option if you have a stable injury between the upper back and lower back and can commit to frequent therapy sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 20 and 70 years
- Spinal cord injury that is stable for at least 3 months
- Injury level between T1 and L2 (upper back to lower back)
- Able to attend physical therapy 3 to 5 times a week for 3 weeks
- Willing to sign a consent form and complete all assessments

This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve leg function in people with a spinal cord injury. It's for those who already need a stimulator for chronic pain.
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 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 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.
