U.S., June 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07002437) titled 'Hypoxia Pathways for Early Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury' on May 02.
Brief Summary: Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts neural pathways to respiratory motor neurons, diminishing breathing capacity and airway defense (e.g., cough). Indeed, respiratory impairment is a leading cause of infection, re-hospitalization and death after SCI. There is a critical need for new strategies to restore breathing ability and airway defense in people with SCI. Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) - repetitive exposure to brief episodes of low inspired oxygen - is a promising strategy to restore breathing capacity by promoting spinal neuroplasticity. Exc...
