An interventional study of Low glycemic load and Electrical stimulation exercise in Spinal Cord Injuries, sponsored by Ohio State University. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-04-27.
Sponsored by Ohio State University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Basic science
The purpose of this study is to determine if a low glycemic diet and lower-body electrical stimulation can reduce postprandial hypotension in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury.
1,948 studies on the registry are indexed under Spinal Cord Injuries; 505 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 13 is below the median of 24 across 1,566 interventional studies indexed under Spinal Cord Injuries.
