Body Composition and Inflammation Study

South Florida Spinal Cord Injury Model System

We are interested in studying relationships between body composition (e.g., percent body fat), measures of inflammation in blood, and chronic pain in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury. Individuals who are at least 2 years post-injury may qualify.

You may be eligible to participate if

  • Have an American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) level A-D
  • Have a neurological level of injury (LOI) between C4 and L2
  • Are between 18-65 years old
  • Have a spinal cord injury that occurred at least 2 years ago
