Electrical stimulation and blood sugar control after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a type of electrical stimulation on leg muscles can help control blood sugar levels in people with spinal cord injury. It compares results to those without injury to see if this treatment might improve health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 study tests a new combination of spinal cord and nerve stimulation to help people with spinal cord injuries regain hand function. If you have some movement in your hands but want to improve it, this trial might help you.
This study tests how spinal cord stimulation affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injuries. It aims to understand the physiological effects using EEG (a brainwave test).
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 study tests a special exercise program (with muscle training and possible stimulation) soon after spinal cord injury to see how muscles and the body respond. It also includes healthy adults to compare measurements and biomarkers.
