Low oxygen therapy and study drug to improve walking after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether breathing brief periods of low oxygen plus a study drug can help people with spinal cord injury walk better. It combines two approaches that may improve nerve function and leg movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- Your spinal cord injury is at or below the neck (C2) and above the lower back (T12)
- Your injury is not getting worse and you have some voluntary leg movement
- Your injury happened more than one year ago
- You can take at least one step without help from another person
- You do not have certain medical conditions or allergies (e.g., diabetes, seizures, caffeine or NSAID allergies)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether breathing brief, mild low-oxygen air (under supervision) can improve leg mobility in people with a certain type of spinal cord injury. It may help with regaining movement, especially if you can already move your legs voluntarily but still have mobility limits.
This study tests whether breathing low-oxygen air (a treatment called AIH) combined with spinal stimulation can help people with chronic spinal cord injury walk better. It may improve your walking speed and endurance.
This trial studies a combination of treatments to help people with certain types of spinal cord injury regain some movement and feeling over time. If you meet the specific injury and health criteria, you may be asked to do simple walking and assessment tests during treatment.
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 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.
This early-phase study tests whether a short period of breathing extra oxygen (hyperoxia) soon after lying in one position can improve physical function in people with long-term spinal cord injury. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether this treatment can help your body work better after chronic injury.
