What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study is testing whether epidural stimulation—a device placed near the spinal cord—can improve walking, standing, and bladder function in people who have had a spinal cord injury within the past year. Sixteen participants will receive stimulation combined with stand training. The goal is to see if this approach can help them take steps and better manage urination.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
epidural stimulation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a way to help people with spinal cord injuries regain some ability to stand, walk, and control their bladder.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 16 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention involves surgery and electrical stimulation, which carry risks like infection or discomfort.
