Spinal cord injury education study for adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is looking at how well a special education program helps people with spinal cord injuries manage their health and daily life after leaving the hospital. It is for adults who recently finished their first rehabilitation stay and have a spinal cord injury from the C5 level or lower.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a program that combines exercise and nutrition education for older adults who have had a spinal cord injury for at least a year. The goal is to see if the program is practical and helps improve fitness and health.
This study looks at people after a recent, serious injury—especially a new spinal cord injury—to see how research and clinical knowledge can be improved. Depending on your group (spinal cord injury, other trauma, or healthy), you may be invited to participate if you meet age and injury timing needs.
This study looks at how people with spinal cord injury (SCI) feel and picture their bodies. If you have had an SCI for one year or longer, you may help doctors better understand and measure this sense of body awareness.
This study tests a rehabilitation program using magnetic or electrical stimulation to help improve movement and function after a spinal cord injury. It may help you regain strength and independence.
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve bladder, bowel, and other automatic body functions during inpatient rehab after a recent spinal cord injury. It's for people who have a non-worsening injury at or above the T6 level and are within 4 months of their injury.
This study looks at how spinal cord injury affects the health of your blood vessels. It compares people with paraplegia to those without an injury to understand the differences.
