This study is investigating if breathing "Mild Intermittent Hypoxia" (air with less oxygen) can help prevent autonomic dysfunction in people with spinal cord injuries. Autonomic dysfunction can cause problems like Autonomic Dysreflexia (sudden, dangerous high blood pressure) and Orthostatic Hypotension (low blood pressure when standing up). Currently, there isn't an effective way to prevent these issues. You might be able to join if you are 18-60 years old, have an incomplete spinal cord injury at or above the T12 level, and show signs of autonomic dysfunction. The researchers will measure Autonomic Dysreflexia at different times: before the intervention, 6 minutes after, 1 day after, and 2 weeks after. The study status is unclear and plans to enroll 24 participants.

Study design

This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 24 participants, but the specific design (like if it's randomized or blinded) is not specified.

What's involved

Participants will breathe either 8% oxygen (Mild Intermittent Hypoxia) or 21% oxygen (Sham) through a facemask system. The duration or frequency of these sessions is not detailed.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for up to 2 weeks after the intervention to measure Autonomic Dysreflexia.
