Online nutrition coaching for people with spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether telenutrition (nutrition coaching by phone/tablet) can help people with spinal cord injury manage their weight and health. It may be a good fit if you’re mainly using a wheelchair, can use an iPad, and live in California.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
