Body Composition and Inflammation Study

South Florida Spinal Cord Injury Model System
We are interested in studying how differences in body composition (e.g., percent body fat) may be related to inflammation (measured from a blood sample) and to pain sensitivity in individuals with traumatic spinal cord injury. Participants must be at least 2 years post-injury.

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
