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 tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with physical therapy can help people with non-traumatic spinal cord injury regain leg movement and the ability to stand or step. Ten adults who have had a spinal cord injury for at least one year and cannot walk independently will receive the treatment. The goal is to see if daily training with the stimulator on improves muscle strength and function.
