NCT ID NCT05103436
First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device (TENS) placed on the lower back can reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) and improve movement in people with spinal cord injury. Forty adults with injuries between the neck and mid-back will either receive TENS right away or after a two-month wait. Researchers will measure changes in muscle tone, knee motion, and strength to see if the treatment helps.
