Electromagnetic therapy for balance and walking after spinal injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if a special device that produces a gentle electromagnetic field can help people with spinal cord injuries walk better and keep their balance. It might be an option if you have weakness in both legs from an injury to your mid-back area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with paraparesis (weakness in both legs) due to a spinal cord injury between the T6 and T12 vertebrae.
- You are between 25 and 45 years old.
- Your leg muscles have moderate spasticity (tightness), rated as a 2 or 3 on a 0-to-5 scale.
- You are generally healthy, mentally stable, and can follow instructions.
- You do not have metal implants, a pacemaker, seizures, active cancer, or serious infection.
- You agree not to drink alcohol or use recreational drugs while in the study.

This trial tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation on the back can help improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It uses a device that sends small currents through the skin to the spinal cord.
This study tests whether a special electromagnetic device can help improve balance and overall quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis. The therapy is non-invasive and may help reduce disability-related symptoms.
This study tests whether non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve your ability to stand and walk after a spinal cord injury. It explores how your brain and spinal cord can adapt and rebuild connections to help you move better.
This trial tests whether placing a small device on the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain the ability to walk. It is designed for those who have had a traumatic injury and still have some movement in their upper body.
This study looks at a treatment to improve how well you can balance and stay steady while moving if you have a spinal cord injury. It may help with side-to-side (lateral) balance and walking control.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of leg muscles, combined with gait training, can help people with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk better. Electrical stimulation works by sending mild electrical pulses to trigger muscle contractions, potentially improving strength and walking ability.
