New treatment option for Spinal Cord Injuries
Official title Development of a Novel Strategy to Analyze the Effect on Gait Using Transcutaneous Spinal Current Stimulation in Incomplete Spinal Cord Injured Patients
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07289191
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- To determine whether the combination of non-invasive spinal cord stimulation together with gait rehabilitation reduces spasticity and facilitates recovery of lower limb motor strength and gait function in patients with incomplete SCI, as well as studying the underlying physiopathological changes following incomplete SCI and its modulation by non-invasive stimulation techniques.
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
