Rhythmic music to improve walking after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether listening to rhythmic music can help people with spinal cord injury walk more smoothly. You will walk while wearing special headphones that play music timed to your steps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You speak English or Spanish
- You have a spinal cord injury that is not getting worse, for at least 6 months
- You can walk at least 40 steps per minute with a clear heel strike, with or without a walker or cane
- You do not need a knee-ankle-foot brace to walk, and you can walk with a left-right pattern using your device
- You do not have other health conditions causing weakness

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new way to help people with spinal cord injuries walk better. If you join, you'll practice walking on a treadmill with support, which may improve your strength and speed over time.
This study tests a new technology that uses electrical stimulation on the back, guided by artificial intelligence, to help people with spinal cord injuries improve their leg movement and walking. It also includes a small group of healthy volunteers to help calibrate the system.
This study tests if regular arm and leg cycling exercises can help people with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk faster and recover more. You must be at least one year post-injury and able to walk a short distance with assistance.
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.
This trial tests whether pairing nerve stimulation with voluntary leg movements can boost recovery of leg function after a spinal cord injury. If you have some voluntary leg movement but still struggle with walking, this therapy might help strengthen those signals and improve stepping.
This study tests whether listening to rhythmic music beats while walking at home can improve walking speed, balance, and overall well-being after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is designed for people who can walk on their own but at a slower pace.
