Study Summary

This trial is investigating whether individuals with spinal cord injury have more cardiac, cerebrovascular, and cognitive dysfunction than non-injured people, and if one session of moderate aerobic exercise can improve these functions.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 18-55, with or without spinal cord injury (SCI) at C6 level or below. Participants must understand English and be able to have certain brain blood flow signals detected. Excluded are those with color blindness, pregnancy, cardiovascular/respiratory diseases, diabetes, glaucoma, ADHD or other conditions affecting the cardiac nervous system.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if one session of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can improve heart control functions, brain blood flow and thinking abilities in people with SCI compared to non-injured individuals during rest and specific physical tests.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated in the provided information, potential side effects may include typical risks associated with moderate exercise such as muscle soreness, fatigue or shortness of breath especially relevant for participants with SCI.

Are the criteria for joining this research project within my grasp?

"This research requires 10 participants aged between 18 and 55 that are living with cerebrovascular disorders. Additionally, they must meet the International Standard for Neurological Classification of SCI (ISNCSCI) A-D criteria, have a neurological level of injury C6 or lower, be proficient in English, and possess the ability to detect middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv) and/or posterior cerebral artery blood velocity (PCAv) signals through TCD."

Answered by AI

Is this research endeavor presently open to new participants?

"The current clinical trial is not accepting any new patients, according to information hosted on Clinicialtrials.gov. This medical research was first announced in September 6th 2022 and last updated 3 weeks later. Fortunately, there are 1076 other studies actively looking for participants at this moment."
