Combined Brain and Nerve Stimulation for Spinal Cord Injury Walking
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining two types of nerve stimulation—one applied to the scalp and one to the lower spine—can help people with chronic incomplete spinal cord injuries regain walking ability. Participants will receive this treatment over several months and be measured on how far and how well they can walk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- Your spinal cord injury happened at least 12 months ago and is incomplete (AIS grade C or D)
- Your injury is in the neck to lower back area (C2 to L1 vertebrae)
- You have at least some motor control in your legs (LEMS score above 10)

This trial tests a combination of two noninvasive brain stimulation techniques—one applied to the scalp and one to the spine—to help improve arm and hand function in people with incomplete cervical spinal cord injuries. The goal is to help you regain strength and control in your hands and arms.
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 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 study tests if combining two types of electrical stimulation—one to the spinal cord and one to the nerves in the arm—can help restore hand movement in people with chronic cervical spinal cord injury.
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 a therapy that uses a brain-controlled device to stimulate your spinal cord while you practice walking. It aims to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury improve their walking ability.
