Dose Optimization Study of Acute Intermittent Hypoxia in Spinal Cord Injury (NCT07739992)
Dose-Optimization Study of Acute Intermittent Hypoxia (DOSA-SCI): Effects on Lower-Limb Motor Function and Physiological Responsiveness in Individuals With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study aims to evaluate how different doses of acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) affect lower-limb strength, reaction time, and responsiveness in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The objective is to identify the dose that most effectively improves motor output while also examining parameters that may account for variability in response.
