Spinal cord stimulation for spinal cord injury recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a spinal cord stimulation device to help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain leg movement. It aims to improve muscle control and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 16 and 65 years old.
- You had a spinal cord injury at least 1 year ago, between neck and mid-back levels (C3-T12).
- You have some movement in your legs (able to contract at least two leg muscles, even slightly).
- You are classified as AIS C or D (incomplete injury with some motor or sensory function below injury level).
- You do not have any implanted devices like a pacemaker or baclofen pump.
- Your spasticity medications have not changed in the last 2 weeks.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if placing electrodes near the injury site and in the lower back can help people with spinal cord injury recover movement or function. You must have had the injury for more than 2 years.
This trial tests whether an implanted device that sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain movement. It is for those who have not seen recent improvement with rehab.
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 placing a small device on the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain the ability to walk. It is designed for those who have had a traumatic injury and still have some movement in their upper body.
This study tests whether spinal cord stimulation combined with training can improve your ability to move your legs and do daily tasks. You may be able to join if you have a traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury (or, in some cases, if you’re a healthy volunteer).
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.
