Summary
This trial tests if electrical stimulation exercise can improve health at home.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women who can become pregnant but agree not to during the study, were part of a previous diet-only spinal injury study, and are willing to wait 8 weeks after that study. It's not for those with kidney disease, on blood thinners, prisoners, pregnant or nursing women, recent severe spinal reflex issues or deep vein thrombosis, untreated thyroid problems or diabetes, certain heart diseases or pressure injuries.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the health benefits of using electrical stimulation for leg exercises at home in individuals with spinal cord injuries. Participants will use this method to see if it helps manage metabolic issues caused by their condition.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, similar interventions may cause skin irritation where electrodes are placed and muscle fatigue due to exercise. There could also be an increased risk of autonomic dysreflexia—a potentially serious complication common in people with spinal injuries.
