Blood pressure–focused study after fresh spinal cord injury
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a treatment approach for people with a new spinal cord injury who have unstable blood pressure. It may help the team understand how to manage blood pressure problems during early recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 to 89 years old and currently in the hospital for acute spinal cord injury rehab at Mount Sinai
- Have a spinal cord injury within the last 30 days to 6 months with loss of movement and/or feeling
- Have blood pressure instability that your doctor can confirm (for example, low blood pressure, a big drop when standing, or big swings during the day)
- Not be dependent on a ventilator right now
- No implanted heart devices (pacemaker/defibrillator) or serious heart rhythm/circulation problems; and no recent heart attack
- Have no implanted stimulators/other devices that interfere with the study (including certain implanted brain/spine/nerve stimulators, cochlear implants, or intracardiac lines), and no open sores near the electrode sites on the neck/upper back

This trial tests whether a non-invasive spinal stimulation device can help improve low blood pressure and dizziness when standing in people with spinal cord injury. It may be an option for those who have had a spinal cord injury for at least a year and experience blood pressure problems.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help people with a recent spinal cord injury keep their blood pressure steady. It's designed for those who experience low blood pressure when sitting or standing, which can cause dizziness or fainting.
This study uses a simple finger sensor to monitor blood pressure regulation in people with spinal cord injury. It aims to find a new way to predict and manage blood pressure issues.
This study tests whether a device that delivers mild electrical stimulation through the skin can improve low blood pressure after an acute spinal cord injury. It may help reduce episodes of dizziness or faint-feeling caused by blood pressure dropping when you sit up.
This study tests a skin “stimulation” treatment to see if it helps stabilize blood pressure in people with spinal cord injury who get low blood pressure when sitting up. If you often have dizziness, faintness, or low readings after changing positions, this trial may help find safer ways to manage it.
This Phase 4 trial studies a treatment to help people with spinal cord injuries who get orthostatic hypotension, meaning blood pressure drops when they change position. If you fit the specific injury and health criteria, the study may offer a structured way to improve symptoms and monitor safety.
