Spinal stimulation to improve recovery after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle electrical stimulation on the spine to help improve movement and recovery after a spinal cord injury. It uses a special therapy called transspinal stimulation while you walk in a robotic device.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an incomplete spinal cord injury (some feeling or movement below the injury).
- Your injury is above the T10 vertebra (lower back area) and it's your first spinal cord injury.
- Your injury happened more than 6 months ago.
- You have no serious health problems like heart disease or memory issues.
- You don't have certain implanted devices (like pacemakers) or serious infections.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a treatment that uses a small device to send electrical signals to your spinal cord, combined with physical therapy to help you move better. It is for people with long-term spinal cord damage that causes nerve pain and makes it hard to stand or walk.
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 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 studies whether a spinal cord stimulation approach plus rehab can improve function and safety in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury who cannot walk. It may help people by supporting rehabilitation over time, but it requires surgery and specific health and imaging conditions.
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 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).
