NCT ID NCT07207798
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a device that sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help people with chronic spinal cord injuries regain movement and feeling. Ten participants with injuries between the T11 and L3 vertebrae will receive the implant and undergo rehabilitation. Researchers will measure changes in walking ability, independence, and quality of life over six months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Epidural electrical stimulation (a device implanted in the spine that sends electrical pulses to help nerves work better)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a way to improve walking and daily function for people with spinal cord injuries.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 10 people. It is not yet proven to work, and there are risks from surgery and the implanted device.
