Walking and spinal cord stimulation for stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether walking plus a special type of spinal cord stimulation can help people who have had a stroke and have trouble walking without help. The goal is to see if this combination can improve their ability to walk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must have had a stroke (either type) at least 6 months ago.
- You must need help or walk very slowly at home, and cannot walk independently in the community.
- You must be able to understand and follow simple instructions in English.
- You must not be currently doing treadmill or weight-bearing exercise programs.
- You must be medically stable and have your doctor's permission to exercise.
- You cannot have certain heart or lung problems, other neurological diseases, severe depression, or conditions that make spinal cord stimulation unsafe.

This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
This trial tests if a special robot suit can help people with chronic stroke improve their walking. If you had a stroke 6 months to 3 years ago and can walk a little with help, you may be able to join.
This study tests two types of robot-assisted walking training to see which one helps people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve their walking. It aims to find the best way to regain mobility and independence.
This trial compares robot-assisted training to standard training to help people with stroke improve their walking and movement. It is for people who are at least 6 months past their stroke and still have moderate to severe disability.
This study tests whether a robot-assisted walking training program can help people who recently had a stroke improve their walking ability. It is for people in the early recovery phase (1 to 3 months after stroke) who already have moderate balance.
This trial tests whether early, robot-assisted walking training can help people recovering from a stroke improve their ability to walk. It uses a wearable robotic exoskeleton to support your body and guide your legs during practice.
