Promoting Recovery Outcomes Through Precise Early Locomotor Interventions in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury
NCT06176833 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a specific type of additional walking therapy, called body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) affects walking ability following a traumatic spinal cord injury. Specifically, the study will look at whether starting BWSTT, which uses a body harness to support body weight while walking on a treadmill at different times within the first 6 months after the injury, makes a difference in how effective this therapy may be, While we know that the brain re-learns patterns following an injury, there has not been a lot of prior research evaluating how starting this type of walking therapy at specific times within the first 6 months after injury may impact any effectiveness of the additional therapy. The study will randomize participants into four groups: those who start this therapy within 60 days, within 3 months, within 6 months or who do not receive this additional research therapy. Randomization means that which group you will be in as part of this study is determined by chance, like the flip of a coin. The additional walking therapy for this research study, if you are randomized for one of the three groups who receives the additional therapy, will be given on top of (meaning in addition to) any standard of care therapies that you may be receiving at that time point after your injury.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06176833
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06176833 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 108 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Milap Sandhu, which has 2 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Spinal Cord Injuries appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06176833 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Illinois, Texas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
