Spinal cord stimulation and exercise for long-term spinal cord injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment that uses a small device to send electrical signals to your spinal cord, combined with physical therapy to help you move better. It is for people with long-term spinal cord damage that causes nerve pain and makes it hard to stand or walk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had spinal cord damage that is not from a sudden injury for at least one year.
- Your spinal cord injury is complete or incomplete, causing long-term nerve pain and trouble moving.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have been told that spinal cord stimulation surgery could help your pain.
- You are not able to stand or step on your own.
- You are not taking any medications for muscle stiffness or spasms, and have not had Botox in the past three months.

This study tests a gentle electrical stimulation on the spine to help improve movement and recovery after a spinal cord injury. It uses a special therapy called transspinal stimulation while you walk in a robotic device.
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 study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects long-term recovery and daily functioning in people with stable spinal cord injury. You may be eligible if you already have an implanted, FDA-approved spinal cord stimulator and meet specific safety and timing rules.
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.
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 how spinal cord stimulation affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injuries. It aims to understand the physiological effects using EEG (a brainwave test).
