FES Cycling With Blood Flow Restriction for Spinal Cord Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new exercise method combining electrical stimulation (FES) and controlled blood flow restriction while you cycle. It's designed to improve heart health, blood sugar control, and fitness in people with spinal cord injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- Your spinal cord injury occurred more than 1 year ago and affects the mid-neck to mid-back region (C5–T10)
- You have at least 3 cardiometabolic risk factors (such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes)
- Your spine is stable and any old fractures have fully healed
- You can understand instructions and give informed consent to participate
- You do not have active skin sores, infections, or other serious medical conditions requiring treatment

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies which kind of electrical muscle stimulation (FES) exercise training works best for people after a spinal cord injury. It may help improve leg muscle activation and training after SCI by comparing different training approaches.
This study tests whether a non-invasive device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can improve your ability to exercise. It is for people who have had a spinal cord injury for at least a year and are medically stable.
This study tests whether electrical stimulation applied to leg muscles can reduce stiffness (spasticity), strengthen the quadriceps muscle, and improve movement and mobility in people with paraplegia from spinal cord injury. The goal is to help you regain more control and function in your legs.
This trial tests whether controlled exercise with blood flow restriction (a gentle technique) can help you regain strength after an incomplete spinal cord injury. It is for people currently receiving care at Quality Living, Inc.
This study tests whether a type of electrical stimulation on leg muscles can help control blood sugar levels in people with spinal cord injury. It compares results to those without injury to see if this treatment might improve health.
This study tests if regular arm and leg cycling exercises can help people with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk faster and recover more. You must be at least one year post-injury and able to walk a short distance with assistance.
