Early cycling therapy for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether starting cycling exercises soon after a spinal cord injury helps patients recover better. It is for adults who can move some muscles against gravity and have had spine surgery within two days of their injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a spinal cord injury that is not from a penetrating wound like a knife or bullet
- Your injury is at a level that leaves some movement in key muscles against gravity
- You had spine surgery within 48 hours of your injury
- You are not on a breathing machine and do not have a severe brain injury
- You do not have other injuries that prevent you from moving your legs or bearing weight

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 whether a short session of pedaling a special bike while lying in bed, soon after spine surgery, can help you recover faster. It's for people who could walk before surgery and are stable after the operation.
This trial tests whether adding spinal cord stimulation to walking practice can improve leg movement and recovery after a recent spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more strength and function in your legs.
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.
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 trial combines a special type of electrical stimulation on the back (called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation) with assisted cycling to help people with spinal cord injuries improve movement and function. It is designed for people who have had an incomplete spinal cord injury within the past year.
