NCT ID NCT03643770
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This early-phase study tested whether short, controlled periods of breathing low oxygen (acute intermittent hypoxia) combined with high-intensity arm training could improve hand and arm function in 58 people with chronic spinal cord injury. Participants had injuries at neck level (C1-T1) and were at least 6 months post-injury. The goal was to see if this approach could strengthen nerve connections and improve daily activities like grasping and coordination.
