Back patch therapy could help people walk better with rare nerve disease
NCT ID NCT07417943
Summary
This study is testing whether a noninvasive spinal stimulation treatment can improve walking ability and reduce muscle stiffness in adults with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), a rare neurological condition that causes progressive walking difficulties. Participants will receive stimulation through skin patches on their lower back twice weekly for 8 weeks, followed by 8 weeks of monitoring to see if improvements last. Researchers will measure walking speed, endurance, muscle stiffness, and overall disease severity to determine if this approach helps manage HSP symptoms.
