First seen Apr 06, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This early-phase study tests whether combining noninvasive spinal cord stimulation with a drug called buspirone can help people with severe spinal cord injury take steps overground. Fifteen participants who have been paralyzed for at least a year will undergo various training and measurement sessions over five years. The goal is to restore some walking ability, not to cure the injury.
