Can a web course boost health in spinal cord injury?
NCT ID NCT07473258
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a 10-week online health program called DRIV can help adults with long-term spinal cord injury adopt healthier habits and feel better. Participants attend weekly video group sessions covering exercise, nutrition, stress, and goal-setting. Researchers compare them to a waitlist group and check if any improvements last six months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DRIV Program (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a practical, scalable way for people with spinal cord injury to improve their health habits and well-being from home.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is behavioral, so benefits depend on individual engagement and may not be dramatic.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults (18 years or older) living with a long-term spinal cord injury (acquired or congenital) and "aging with the injury" (i.e., have lived many years with SCI). * Have registered interest in participating in the 10-week web-based health promotion program "DRIV - hälsa online för dig med ryggmärgsskada" (health online for people with SCI). * Able to provide informed consent and complete self-assessment questionnaires (no severe cognitive impairment that would hinder participation). * Sufficient Swedish language skills and internet access to participate in weekly online group sessions via video. Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals with severe psychiatric conditions that would interfere with active participation in a group health program (unmanaged mental illness preventing engagement in the online sessions).
