Electrical stimulation exercise for lower limb paralysis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a muscle exercise program using electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis in their legs. It may improve muscle strength, blood flow, or other health benefits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have paralysis in both legs due to a spinal cord injury or another nerve/muscle condition.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your leg muscles still respond to electrical stimulation (a clinician will check this).
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not need a ventilator to breathe.
- You do not have open pressure sores that would get worse from exercise.
- You have not had broken bones without a clear cause.
- You do not have heart or lung disease that limits exercise, and your diabetes or blood pressure is well controlled.
- Your body size allows you to fit comfortably in the exercise equipment.
- You have no other health or mental conditions that would make exercise unsafe.

This early-stage study tests whether regular, skin-based electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis or weakness regain movement. You would attend frequent clinic sessions for months, while the team checks your ability to follow instructions and your safety.
This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
This trial tests a new way to help people with stroke move their legs better by combining electrical stimulation on the back and leg. If you have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk with or without a cane, this treatment might help strengthen ankle muscles and make walking easier.
This study tests a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the back of the head to see if it can improve walking and leg movement in people who have had a stroke. It may help you move better and regain function.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulation device—a small implant that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help improve arm and leg strength and movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and haven't fully recovered with regular therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
This study tests a special exercise program (with muscle training and possible stimulation) soon after spinal cord injury to see how muscles and the body respond. It also includes healthy adults to compare measurements and biomarkers.
