Yogic breathing and meditation for spinal cord conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple yogic breathing and meditation program, done over video calls, can help people with spinal cord conditions feel better and manage symptoms. You can join from home with just an internet connection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a gentle yoga breathing program using a smartphone app to help people with spinal cord injury improve how their heart and lungs work together. It might be a good fit if you use a wheelchair, have a compatible smartphone, and are otherwise healthy.
This study tests non-invasive treatments to help people with chronic spinal cord injury improve their breathing. It may be a good fit if you have had a spinal cord injury for at least a year and have weak breathing muscles.
This trial studies a neurostimulation approach to help breathing problems after a spinal cord injury. You may be able to join if you have a certain type and level of spinal cord injury and breathing weakness, and you can safely attend study visits with caregiver support.
This trial is testing if a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord (spinal cord stimulation) can help improve breathing in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may be a good option if your injury is above the T5 level and you have reduced lung function.
This trial tests a neuromodulation treatment to improve breathing in people living with a cervical spinal cord injury who have significant breathing problems. If you qualify, you would have regular weekly testing over many months to see whether breathing and breathing support needs improve.
This study tests a new breathing exercise method combined with a gentle brain stimulation technique to help people with spinal cord injury improve their breathing and lung function. It may be an option if your injury is recent and at or above the mid-back level.
