Spinal cord stimulation with training for spinal cord injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a non-traumatic spinal cord injury for at least one year.
- You have chronic nerve pain and some loss of movement in your legs.
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your doctor has recommended spinal cord stimulation surgery for pain.
- You are unable to stand or walk without help.

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 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).
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 study tests whether stimulating the nerves in your spine (via an epidural device) can improve rehab-related function after a spinal cord injury. It focuses on people with stable, motor-complete paraplegia and long-term injuries, and it compares how you respond to the stimulation during rehabilitation.
