Ultrasound to measure muscle activity from spinal cord stimulation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to see how muscles respond to two types of electrical stimulation (spinal cord and functional electrical stimulation). It may help researchers better understand how to treat muscle weakness or paralysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses electrical stimulation to help reduce leg stiffness, improve muscle strength, and make it easier to move and walk for people with paraplegia.
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 type of non-invasive stimulation (brain and spine) to help improve movement in people with spinal cord injury. It targets arm, leg, or trunk function depending on your injury level.
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.
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 trial tests a device that uses gentle electrical stimulation and visual cues to help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. It may help you regain some function in your affected limb.
