NCT ID NCT07223710
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining loud sounds and mild electrical stimulation with walking practice can improve walking speed and leg strength in people with chronic spinal cord injury. About 20 adults with incomplete spinal injuries who can stand and have some ankle movement will participate. The goal is to activate hidden nerve pathways to make walking training more effective.
