Summary

This trial aims to find how electrical and magnetic stimulation can improve mobility in people with chronic spinal cord injuries.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with chronic spinal cord injury or disease, at least a year post-injury, who can engage in therapy and have caregiver support. They must be able to consent and participate in recorded sessions. Those with severe medical conditions, uncontrolled symptoms, skin issues where electrodes attach, active implants like pacemakers, or are pregnant/breastfeeding cannot join.
What is being tested?
The RISES-T System is being tested to see how non-invasive electrical and magnetic neuromodulation techniques affect mobility in people with chronic spinal injuries. The study aims to find the best combination of these techniques to improve movement.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the stimulation site, temporary muscle twitching during treatment sessions, mild headaches or dizziness post-treatment. However, since it's non-invasive and doesn't involve drugs or surgery, serious side effects are less likely.
