NCT ID NCT07196956
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a low-frequency electromagnetic field to standard physical therapy can improve balance and walking in people with leg weakness from spinal cord injuries. Thirty adults aged 25-45 will be split into two groups: one gets real electromagnetic therapy during their sessions, the other gets a fake device. Researchers will measure changes in muscle stiffness, balance, and walking patterns after two months of treatment.
