Spinal current stimulation for walking after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation on the back can help improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It uses a device that sends small currents through the skin to the spinal cord.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have an incomplete spinal cord injury (cervical or thoracic) that is stable and happened more than 6 months ago.
- You are able to walk at least 6 meters with or without help (like a cane or walker).
- You can understand the study and sign a consent form.
- You do not have severe muscle tightness (spasticity) or skin sores where the electrodes would be placed.

This study tests if mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help children ages 3 to 16 with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk better. It is important for children who still have some movement in their legs but need extra help to improve their walking.
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 tests a therapy that uses a brain-controlled device to stimulate your spinal cord while you practice walking. It aims to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury improve their walking ability.
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve bladder, bowel, and other automatic body functions during inpatient rehab after a recent spinal cord injury. It's for people who have a non-worsening injury at or above the T6 level and are within 4 months of their injury.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve movement and muscle control in people with spinal cord injury. If you've had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are between 20-70 years old, this might help improve leg function and walking.
This trial tests whether a painless electrical stimulation on the back, combined with assisted cycling, can help people with recent spinal cord injury improve leg movement and muscle control.
