Walking improvement study for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to help people with spinal cord injury improve their walking. If you have some ankle movement but still need support to walk, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your spinal cord injury happened at least 6 months ago.
- Your injury level is at or above the T10 vertebra (about mid-back).
- You have some ankle movement (even a small wiggle) but it's weak.
- You can stand and walk a little, with help from a brace, cane, walker, or body weight support.
- You do not have a metal implant in your head, uncontrolled medical conditions, or a history of epilepsy.

This study tests if regular arm and leg cycling exercises can help people with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk faster and recover more. You must be at least one year post-injury and able to walk a short distance with assistance.
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 deep brain stimulation can improve walking in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury. It also requires that you meet specific injury and walking ability requirements and be able to attend study visits and training.
This study tests if combining spinal cord stimulation with walking training helps improve leg movement and recovery in people with a recent spinal cord injury (between 1 week and 6 months ago). It is designed for those who can stand for at least 10 minutes with or without help.
This trial tests if an electrical stimulation device placed in the spine can help people with spinal cord injury improve their ability to walk. It is for adults who had a traumatic injury either very recently (within 6 weeks) or more than a year ago.
This study tests a combination of a robotic walking device and spinal cord stimulation to see if it helps improve muscle and bone health in people who have had a spinal cord injury for more than 3 years and cannot walk.
