Blood flow restriction exercise for strength after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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 supervised resistance training program can improve how your heart and blood vessels respond to daily activities. It may help reduce dizziness and other heart-related problems that can happen after a spinal cord injury.
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.
This trial tests if using a blood pressure cuff during arm exercises can help people with disabilities build muscle strength. It's designed to be safe and effective for those who can do upper body movements.
This study tests whether using a special band during exercise, which limits blood flow, can improve heart health. It is for generally healthy people who want to try a new type of strength training.
This trial tests whether doing resistance exercise with a blood pressure cuff to partially restrict blood flow can improve heart function in people with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction. It may help you get stronger and feel better during cardiac rehab.
This study tests a non-invasive method called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief cycles of inflation and deflation of a blood pressure cuff on the arm. It may help improve health outcomes for people with spinal cord injury who are not currently able to exercise.
