Summary
This study tested whether short, repeated sessions of mild oxygen shortage (called acute intermittent hypoxia) combined with hand exercises could improve grip and pinch strength in people with chronic cervical spinal cord injury. The trial was early-stage and aimed at understanding how the therapy works in rats and humans. It was terminated early, so results are limited.
