Blood vessel health after spinal cord injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Had a spinal cord injury for more than a year
- Your injury is motor complete (AIS A or B), meaning you have little to no movement or feeling below the injury site
- Your injury is at chest level (T2) or lower (paraplegia)
- You are not a current smoker and have not smoked in the past year
- You are not taking heart or cholesterol medications like statins or beta-blockers

This study looks at how blood vessel health is affected in people with long-term spinal cord injury (over 1 year). It tests whether blood vessel function plays a role in heart and circulatory risk.
This study looks at whether low testosterone affects blood vessel health in men with recent spinal cord injury. It tests if testosterone replacement can help improve blood vessel function.
This study tests simple strategies (like hand exercises or warming) to help blood vessels recover faster from reduced blood flow. It's for healthy, inactive adults to understand how the body responds and how to protect blood vessel health.
This study looks at blood tests after a spinal cord injury to find markers that may predict recovery. The results could help doctors plan better treatment for future patients.
This study tests a way to manage blood pressure after a traumatic spinal cord injury. It aims to improve blood flow to the injured area and help recovery.
This study looks at how the autonomic nervous system (which controls things like heart rate and blood pressure) changes after a spinal cord injury. It aims to predict later health problems.
