Early cycling exercise after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if starting leg cycling exercise within the first week after spinal cord injury is safe and helpful. It is for adults who had surgery within 48 hours of their injury and have a specific level of paralysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a non-penetrating (blunt) traumatic spinal cord injury
- Your injury is classified as AIS A, B, or C (no movement or some movement but not against gravity)
- Your injury level is between C0 and L2
- You had spine surgery within 48 hours of your injury
- Your weight is low enough that your body mass index is 40 or less

This study tests a new exercise program combining arm cycling with electrical stimulation of leg muscles for people with spinal cord injury. The goal is to improve your overall health and fitness.
This study tests a special walking program for people who have recently had a spinal cord injury. The goal is to help you recover as much walking ability as possible.
This study tests if adding spinal cord stimulation to arm bike exercise can improve heart and blood vessel health in people with chronic spinal cord injury. You would come to the clinic up to 3 times a week for up to 6 months.
This study tests whether spinal cord stimulation combined with training can improve your ability to move your legs and do daily tasks. You may be able to join if you have a traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury (or, in some cases, if you’re a healthy volunteer).
This study tests a special exercise program (with muscle training and possible stimulation) soon after spinal cord injury to see how muscles and the body respond. It also includes healthy adults to compare measurements and biomarkers.
This trial studies whether epidural (back-of-spine) stimulation plus guided resistance training can improve strength and function after a traumatic spinal cord injury. It may help people who have an intact nerve pathway below their injury level and can safely use a rehab exoskeleton.
