NCT ID NCT05103436
First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation called TENS can reduce muscle spasticity and improve movement control in people with spinal cord injury. Forty adults with injuries between C5 and T12 will either receive TENS right away or after a two-month wait. Researchers will measure changes in muscle stiffness, knee motion, and strength to see if the treatment helps.
