What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early study tests whether combining electrical stimulation cycling with blood flow restriction cuffs is safe and doable for people with chronic spinal cord injury. Six adults will try the 20-minute exercise sessions over 6 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach can be used long-term to reduce the high risk of heart disease and diabetes in this population.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Functional electrical stimulation cycling combined with blood flow restriction
What this could lead to
If this works, it could point toward a safe, accessible exercise method to lower heart disease and diabetes risk in people with spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase trial with only 6 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The main goal is safety and feasibility, not yet proving health benefits.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult (≥ 18 to ≤ 75yrs) * Male or female * Chronic Injury (\>1yr) * Diagnosis of SCI at levels between C5 to T10 (AIS A-D) with traumatic or non-traumatic etiology. * ≥3 Cardiometabolic risk parameters Exclusion Criteria: * A prior or current history of venous thromboembolism * Pressure injury of the pelvis, mid to upper thigh region, or foot * Managing a lower limb fracture * Any history of embolic stroke * Myocardial infarction * Current untreated hypertension * Language, psychiatric, cognitive, or communicative disability (e.g., traumatic brain injury) that compromises the participant's autonomy to voluntarily join the study, follow its instructions and/or operate the device. * Current alcohol or street drug use disorder. * Current use of an anticoagulant medication. * Frequent episodes of autonomic dysreflexia unresponsive to therapy (e.g., 3-5 times a week). * Unresolved deep vein thromboembolism (VTE) in the past six months. * Severe spasticity preventing the necessary range of motion for cycling. * Active implantable medical device (e.g., pacemaker, ITB pump). * Inability to provide informed consent. * Severe active concurrent medical conditions (e.g., skin or respiratory infections, lung, pressure sores). * Unstable spine or unhealed limbs or pelvic fractures. * Active heterotopic ossification interfering with the lower extremity range of motion.
