Spinal cord stimulation for better walking after injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 to 75 years old.
- You have an incomplete spinal cord injury (ASIA B, C, or D) that is not getting worse.
- Your injury is at or above the L1 vertebra.
- You can stand with some support and are able to do treadmill training with body-weight support.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device.
- You have not had spinal cord stimulation treatment before.

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.
This trial tests if combining brain-computer interface technology with spinal cord stimulation can help improve walking in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It aims to see if this approach works when standard rehab has stopped helping.
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 spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve leg function in people with a spinal cord injury. It's for those who already need a stimulator for chronic pain.
This study tests whether deep brain stimulation can improve walking in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury. It also requires that you meet specific injury and walking ability requirements and be able to attend study visits and training.
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.
