Yoga breathing for heart and lung health after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle yoga breathing program using a smartphone app to help people with spinal cord injury improve how their heart and lungs work together. It might be a good fit if you use a wheelchair, have a compatible smartphone, and are otherwise healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal cord injury that limits movement (classified AIS A, B, or C).
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You use a wheelchair.
- You do not have heart or lung conditions, diabetes, or cancer.
- You have a smartphone that works with the Prana breath-training app.
- Your blood pressure is controlled and you don't smoke.

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 a new breathing exercise method combined with a gentle brain stimulation technique to help people with spinal cord injury improve their breathing and lung function. It may be an option if your injury is recent and at or above the mid-back level.
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.
This study looks at whether a spinal cord stimulator can improve breathing and lung function in adults with a certain type of spinal cord injury. It may help people who have ongoing breathing weakness after their injury.
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.
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.
