TEAM-SCI Trial Summary

This trial tests if electrical stimulation exercise can improve health at home.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women who can become pregnant but agree not to during the study, were part of a previous diet-only spinal injury study, and are willing to wait 8 weeks after that study. It's not for those with kidney disease, on blood thinners, prisoners, pregnant or nursing women, recent severe spinal reflex issues or deep vein thrombosis, untreated thyroid problems or diabetes, certain heart diseases or pressure injuries.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the health benefits of using electrical stimulation for leg exercises at home in individuals with spinal cord injuries. Participants will use this method to see if it helps manage metabolic issues caused by their condition.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, similar interventions may cause skin irritation where electrodes are placed and muscle fatigue due to exercise. There could also be an increased risk of autonomic dysreflexia—a potentially serious complication common in people with spinal injuries.

What results are researchers aiming to attain through this medical experiment?

"This research initiative, which is monitored from baseline through 20 weeks post-intervention, seeks to quantify the change in percentage of lean body mass. Secondary goals encompass assessment of Hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1C) levels by blood sample, measurement of Glucose concentrations via mg/dL and High sensitivity C Reactive Protein (hsCRP) analysis with a corresponding blood draw."

Answered by AI

Are there any ongoing enrollments for this clinical investigation?

"The information found on clinicaltrials.gov indicates that this particular medical trial is not recruiting at the moment, although it was first posted on December 1st 2022 and last updated November 4th of the same year.
