Skin nerve stimulation to raise blood pressure after spinal injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 7–30 days after your spinal cord injury
- Your injury is in the upper back/thoracic area (at or above T2)
- Your spinal cord injury severity is AIS A, B, or C
- You currently have low blood pressure symptoms (for example, SBP under 90, or a 20+ point drop when sitting)
- You are not on a ventilator and do not have certain heart devices or implanted stimulators

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 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 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.
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 a treatment that delivers electrical stimulation through an epidural device to help stabilize blood pressure and improve trunk control in people with a spinal cord injury. It may help reduce episodes of dizziness or drops in blood pressure when standing and support better body control during activity.
