Brain and spinal cord stimulation for legs after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of two non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation techniques to help people with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury regain leg movement. If you have some leg function, this therapy might help you walk better and improve your independence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old.
- Your spinal cord injury is 'incomplete' and happened at least 12 months ago.
- Your injury is between the neck (C2) and upper back (L1).
- You have some movement in your legs (more than 10 points on a leg strength test).
- You are medically stable and can walk a short distance (10 meters) with or without help.
- You do not have seizures, implanted devices, or certain other conditions (like a stroke or brain injury).

This study tests combining two types of non-invasive stimulation—one on the head and one on the neck—to help improve arm and hand function in people with a cervical spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more control and strength in your arms.
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 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 a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord, combined with daily therapy, can help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain some ability to stand or walk. It also looks at reducing muscle spasms and improving quality of life.
This trial tests whether epidural electrical stimulation can help people with spinal cord injury between T11 and L3 improve their walking ability. It is for those injured between 2 and 24 months ago who currently have limited walking function.
