Hybrid High-Intensity Cycling Program for Spinal Cord Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 21–70 years old
- Spinal cord injury between the neck (C4) and mid-back (T12) area
- At least 1 year since your spinal cord injury occurred
- Able to move your arms well enough to pedal an arm cycle
- No open pressure wounds (bedsores) on your buttocks or feet
- No uncontrolled heart disease, diabetes, or bone-weakening conditions that would make exercise unsafe

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 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.
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.
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 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.
