Low oxygen plus a medication to improve walking after spinal injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether breathing low oxygen and taking an adenosine A2a-blocking medicine can improve physical walking ability after a spinal cord injury. It is designed for adults who have partial (motor-incomplete) leg movement but still struggle to move well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old, and a clinician says you’re medically safe to join
- Your spinal cord injury is not continuing to worsen, and it is in the neck-to-mid-back range (at or below C2 and above T12)
- You have partial leg control (motor-incomplete) with visible, voluntary leg movement
- Your injury happened more than 12 months ago
- You can move forward at least one step on the ground without another person helping you

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 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.
This study is testing whether mild intermittent hypoxia (brief episodes of reduced oxygen) can improve autonomic nervous system function (which controls things like blood pressure and heart rate) in people with incomplete spinal cord injuries. It may help reduce symptoms like dizziness or irregular heart rate.
This trial studies a neurostimulation approach to help breathing problems after a spinal cord injury. You may be able to join if you have a certain type and level of spinal cord injury and breathing weakness, and you can safely attend study visits with caregiver support.
