Treatment for blood pressure drops after spinal cord injury
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a traumatic spinal cord injury (not a different cause).
- Your injury happened at least 12 months ago.
- Your spinal injury level is in the neck/upper back area (C1 to T6).
- Your current ability is non-ambulatory (you can’t walk).
- You are classified as AIS A, B, or C (your neurologic function matches these categories).

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 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 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 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 a pill called midodrine to see if it can safely raise blood pressure in people with heart failure and low blood pressure. It may help you feel better and avoid needing IV treatments while in the hospital.
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.
