Spinal cord stimulation therapy for walking recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your spinal cord injury was caused by an accident or trauma (not a disease or other cause).
- Your injury is at T10 or higher, and there is healthy spinal tissue below the injury.
- You have enough arm and hand strength to support yourself with your arms.
- You can speak and understand German, French, or English.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.

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 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 combining electrical stimulation of the spinal cord with personalized physical therapy can help improve leg movement in people with spinal cord injury. It may be an option if you have a stable injury between the upper back and lower back and can commit to frequent therapy sessions.
This trial tests if combining brain-computer interface technology with spinal cord stimulation can help improve walking in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It aims to see if this approach works when standard rehab has stopped helping.
This study tests a therapy using an implanted spinal array and a lumbar system (ARC-IM) to support mobility in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It focuses on whether the approach is safe and may improve walking or movement over time.
This study tests whether combining a special pacemaker for the spine (spinal cord stimulation) with physical therapy can help people with long-term spinal cord injury reduce chronic pain and improve movement.
