Spinal stimulation and walking training for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal cord injury that happened between 1 week and 6 months ago
- You are 16 years or older
- Your injury is in the neck or upper back (between the C1 and L2 bones of your spine)
- You can stand with or without help for at least 10 minutes
- You can follow instructions in English or French
- You do not have a pacemaker, active cancer at the stimulation site, or an unhealed wound where the electrodes would go

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 trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the spinal area plus robotic gait training can improve walking function in people with a traumatic spinal cord injury who are not walking independently. It’s meant for people with incomplete injuries where some nerve signals still work, and who can safely use the robotic exoskeleton.
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 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 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 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.
