Early high oxygen therapy for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests giving high levels of oxygen soon after a spinal cord injury to see if it can help recovery. It is for people who are awake but need a breathing tube and have certain types of spinal cord injury in the neck or upper back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have a spinal cord injury in the neck or upper back from a blunt or sharp object, like a car crash or knife wound.
- You are awake and can follow simple commands.
- You need a breathing machine (ventilator) to help you breathe.
- You can start the oxygen treatment within 24 hours of your injury.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether mild, short-term low oxygen levels (like at high altitude) can help the spinal cord recover earlier after an injury. It is for people who had a spinal cord injury in the last 2 weeks to 6 months.
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.
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 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 if high-flow oxygen therapy can help people with spinal cord injuries between the neck and upper back. It is designed for those admitted to a spinal injury ward within 24 to 48 hours of injury.
This trial tests whether breathing low oxygen (hypoxia) can help stabilize blood pressure in people with spinal cord injuries. It's looking for participants with chronic cervical injuries to see if this therapy improves 24-hour blood pressure control.
