NCT ID NCT07583498

First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether a breathing treatment called acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) increases spasticity (muscle tightness) in people with chronic spinal cord injury. Ten adults with incomplete spinal cord injury will receive AIH and have their reflexes and muscle stiffness measured. The goal is to understand if AIH makes spasticity worse, not to treat it.
