Nitric oxide donors to prevent blood pressure spikes during bowel care after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medication that releases nitric oxide can prevent dangerous blood pressure increases (autonomic dysreflexia) that can happen during bowel care for people with spinal cord injury. It may help make bowel routines safer and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new medication injected directly into the bladder muscle to help reduce urine leakage in people with spinal cord injuries. It is for those who have tried other treatments without enough success and are considering more invasive options.
This study tests whether a non-invasive spinal cord stimulation device can help regulate blood pressure in people with spinal cord injury who have low blood pressure symptoms. It may help you feel less dizzy or faint when you sit or stand up.
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 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 Phase 2 study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide can improve tiny blood-flow problems in the brain after traumatic brain injury. If you qualify, you may receive inhaled nitric oxide and be monitored for safety and recovery.
This early (Phase 1) study tests whether midodrine and droxidopa can improve blood-flow pooling in the belly in people with nerve problems that affect blood pressure when standing. It’s looking at safety and how the body responds, which may help reduce dizziness or fainting for some participants.
