Telenutrition for Individuals With SCI
Telenutrition to Improve Cardiometabolic Health and Quality of Life Among Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study will provide nutrition counseling via FaceTime on an iPad to persons with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) who are overweight or obese and are at least one-year post-injury. Nutrition counseling may help participants to develop eating behaviors that match the participants' needs and help improve heart health. The purpose of this project is to decrease the risk of complications like obesity, high cholesterol, or diabetes, and explore associations between bowel and bladder function and nutrition. This study will require 3 in person visits that are about 3 months apart. The total length of the study is about 6 months and includes 3 months of telenutrition counseling.
