NCT ID NCT07562113

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a small ear device that gently stimulates a nerve (taVNS) in people who recently had a spinal cord injury. The goal is to see if it is safe and comfortable, and whether adding it to walking therapy might help improve mobility. About 50 adults will take part in two phases: first a short test of the device alone, then using it before therapy sessions.
