Autonomic Dysreflexia in Spinal Cord Injuries: UDS Filling Speed Impact
In patients with spinal cord injury, the investigators want to understand and understand the differences in AD prevalence and characteristics according to bladder injection rate, and to determine which factors have a greater influence between bladder expansion or injection rate.
South Korea - Not yet recruitingNCT07725952
Cardiovascular Autonomic Function After Resistance Training
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether an 8-week upper-limb resistance training program improves cardiovascular autonomic function in adults with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).

Exercise Program for Individuals With SCI in Community
Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) who have reduced mobility have difficulty exercising on their own without proper guidance in the community. Community-based exercise programs are effective in removing various barriers such as lack of exercise programs, lack of experts, and lack of facilities.

Where this list comes from
Trials are pulled daily from the ClinicalTrials.gov registry and tagged by what they study and what they target. This page reflects the 2026-09-12 refresh of the 2,167 spinal cord injury trials SCI.help tracks. Eligibility criteria, study contacts, exact sites, and results live on each trial's ClinicalTrials.gov record, linked above. The full dataset is public at /data/sci_trials.min.json.
Before contacting a study team, read clinical trials and SCI research, honestly and how to spot a predatory "trial".
