What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took 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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested whether adding functional electrical stimulation (FES) bicycle ergometry to robotic rehabilitation helps people with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury walk better. 38 participants completed 20 sessions over 4 weeks. The goal was to see if the combination improves walking ability and leg muscle strength more than robotic rehab alone.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) bicycle ergometry combined with robotic rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better way to improve walking and leg function for people with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The improvement might be modest or not last long-term.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Motor Incomplete spinal cord injury (ASIA C and D). 2. At least 6 months post spinal cord injury. 3. Age between 18 and 65 years. 4. Ability to walk at least 10 meters independently or with assistive devices such as a cane or crutches. 5. Signed informed consent form indicating willingness to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Severe spasticity or joint contracture in the lower extremities that impedes movement. 2. Presence of metallic implants in the lower extremities. 3. Stage 2 or higher pressure ulcers on the sacral or coccygeal regions. 4. Co-existing peripheral neuropathy. 5. Permanent urinary catheter use. 6. Contraindications for walking exercises (e.g., cognitive impairment preventing exercise compliance, unstable epilepsy or unexplained convulsions, unstable acute cardiac arrhythmia or heart failure, presence of a cardiac pacemaker). 7. Psychiatric disorders or cognitive problems that prevent completing questionnaires and assessment scales. 8. Presence of other neurological or muscular diseases.
