Acute Intermittent Hypoxia to Enhance Motor Function After Spinal Cord Injury
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Hypoxia via Hypoxico Hyp-123 and Sham via Hypoxico Hyp-123 for Spinal Cord Injuries. Completed, enrolled 17 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study will examine if acute intermittent hypoxia (brief episodes of breathing lower oxygen), which has been shown to enhance plasticity and motor output, can enhance functional outcomes and muscle activation in individuals with spinal cord injury. Our aim is to assess breathing, sitting, standing and walking functional ability before and after acute intermittent hypoxia, compared to a sham treatment. This information may be useful in advancing rehabilitation for people with spinal cord injuries.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
During acute intermittent hypoxia, subjects will undergo 15 brief exposures (60-120 seconds) of low oxygen air (9-15% inspired oxygen) delivered by an air generator, alternated with 15 brief exposures (60-120 seconds) of ambient room air.
During sham intermittent hypoxia, subjects will undergo 15 brief exposures (60-120 seconds) of normal oxygen air (21% inspired oxygen) delivered by an air generator, alternated with 15 brief exposures (60-120 seconds) of ambient room air.
