Association Between Body Composition and Pain in Spinal Cord Injury
Association Among Body Composition, Chronic Pain, Evoked Pain Sensitivity, and Adiposity-related Systemic Inflammation in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purposes of the study are to quantify and compare relationships among acute changes in inflammatory markers and evoked pain sensitivity after a high-fat meal (HFM) challenge, compared to a moderate-fat meal challenge, and explore the influence of body composition on these responses, in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other illness
- Health conditions associated with chronic systemic inflammation unrelated to weight or adiposity (e.g., systemic autoimmune diseases, recurrent or active urinary tract infection, pressure injury \> Stage 2)
- Conditions that preclude measurement of body composition by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA; e.g., lower limb contracture \> 15 degrees)
Other
- Cognitive dysfunction that limits ability to adequately understand the risks of the study or are otherwise unable to consent
- Inability to obtain free-flowing blood from a superficial forearm or hand vein
- Pregnant women
- Prisoners
