ClinConnect Summary

The "Living Longer and Stronger With Spinal Cord Injury" trial is designed to help people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) improve their health as they age. The study is testing a special program that focuses on physical, mental, and social well-being for individuals with SCI. By participating, you'll be part of a group that works together to learn and support each other, with the hope that this program can lead to better overall health and quality of life.

To be eligible for this trial, you should have a traumatic spinal cord injury and either have had it for at least 15 years or be over the age of 45. You also need to use a manual or power wheelchair sometimes, reside in the U.S., and be comfortable using a computer or smartphone. Participants will take part in online sessions and activities, and you’ll need to be able to communicate via email. This trial does not accept individuals with serious cognitive impairments or significant substance use issues. If you’re interested and meet these criteria, this could be a great opportunity to connect with others and enhance your health!
