This study is looking at new ways to use transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) to help people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) regain movement in their legs. tSCS uses electrodes on the skin to deliver electrical pulses to the spinal cord. Researchers want to see if changing the way the stimulation is delivered – by varying electrode location, frequency, and strength – can better target specific muscles and improve leg movements. The study will compare this 'Spatiotemporal tSCS' to 'Conventional tSCS' and no stimulation. They will measure changes in leg muscle strength (torque) after 30 minutes to see if the new method is more effective. You may be able to join if you are 16-65 years old, have a chronic SCI (at least one year old) affecting C3-T12, and can voluntarily move at least two leg muscles. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 48 participants. It will compare three different approaches: no stimulation, conventional tSCS, and spatiotemporal tSCS.

What's involved

Participants will complete motor tasks and assessments while receiving different types of spinal cord stimulation or no stimulation.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary outcome is measured at 30 minutes, but the overall follow-up duration is not specified.
