Keto diet to support recovery after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a ketogenic (keto) diet can improve movement recovery after spinal cord injury. It may help your body’s healing and brain/spinal cord recovery, but you must meet specific health and safety requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal cord injury, and it affects your movement (either fully or partially)
- You’re between 19 and 60 years old
- Your spinal cord injury severity matches ASIA A, B, C, or D
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have other serious nerve conditions, major heart/blood-vessel problems, kidney problems, liver disease, or significant lung disease

This study tests whether specific diet and exercise plans can help prevent blood pressure drops after eating in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). If you have SCI and use a wheelchair, this trial may help you find ways to manage low blood pressure after meals.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve movement and muscle control in people with spinal cord injury. If you've had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are between 20-70 years old, this might help improve leg function and walking.
This study tests whether non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve your ability to stand and walk after a spinal cord injury. It explores how your brain and spinal cord can adapt and rebuild connections to help you move better.
This trial tests a type of arm and hand exercise training to see if it helps the brain and nerves recover after a recent spinal cord injury in the neck. It may help people who have some movement left in their arms or hands.
This trial studies how nerve pathways in the spinal cord help control movements in people with spinal cord injury. It may help researchers better understand movement control and could lead to improved rehab strategies.
This trial studies whether a spinal cord stimulation approach plus rehab can improve function and safety in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury who cannot walk. It may help people by supporting rehabilitation over time, but it requires surgery and specific health and imaging conditions.
