Spinal stimulation and robot suit aim to get people with paralysis walking better
NCT ID NCT05921175
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether adding transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) to robotic gait training (RGT) can improve trunk control and walking in people with chronic spinal cord injury. Twelve participants will first receive RGT alone, then RGT plus tSCS, and their progress will be measured. The goal is to see if the combination leads to better mobility and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) plus robotic gait training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a way to improve trunk control and walking ability in people with chronic spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (12 people) with no control group, so results may not be generalizable. The added benefit of tSCS over robotic training alone is uncertain.
