Clinical Trial: Combined Therapeutic Air Mixture and Electrical Stimulation to Improve Breathing and Hand Function in Spinal Cord Injury

Study Status: Completed

Recruit Status: RECRUITING

Condition: Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL


Official Title: Effect of Single Session Combined Acute Intermittent Hypercapnic-Hypoxia and Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation on Cervical Neural Drive in Chronic Spinal Cord Injury

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether people with paralysis due to a spinal cord injury can benefit from breathing short intermittent bouts of air with low oxygen (O2) combined with slightly higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), interspaced by breathing room air.The technical name for this therapeutic air mixture is 'acute intermittent hypercapnic-hypoxia,' abbreviated as AIHH.Following exposure to the gas mixture, participants will receive non-invasive electrical stimulation to the…
