Brief oxygen breathing trial after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a traumatic spinal cord injury that started at least 3 months ago
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- Your spinal cord injury is classified as ASIA A, B, or C at discharge
- Your injury level is between C5 and T10
- You can read, understand, and sign written informed consent

This trial tests if high-flow oxygen therapy can help people with spinal cord injuries between the neck and upper back. It is designed for those admitted to a spinal injury ward within 24 to 48 hours of injury.
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 study is testing a special breathing training device (called BioFLO) for people with chronic spinal cord injury to see if it can strengthen their breathing muscles and improve their respiratory recovery.
This trial tests a neuromodulation treatment to improve breathing in people living with a cervical spinal cord injury who have significant breathing problems. If you qualify, you would have regular weekly testing over many months to see whether breathing and breathing support needs improve.
This trial is testing if a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord (spinal cord stimulation) can help improve breathing in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may be a good option if your injury is above the T5 level and you have reduced lung function.
