Low oxygen therapy to improve walking after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your spinal cord injury is at least 12 months old and located between C1 and L2.
- You can walk 10 meters (about 33 feet) without help from another person.
- You do not have serious heart, lung, or other health problems that would make the study unsafe.
- You are not pregnant and do not have active implanted devices like a baclofen pump.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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.
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 trial tests a treatment to help people with chronic spinal cord injury improve arm and hand function. It combines two therapies to see if they work better together.
