Blood Vessel Health After Spinal Cord Injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood vessel health is affected in people with long-term spinal cord injury (over 1 year). It tests whether blood vessel function plays a role in heart and circulatory risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how spinal cord injury affects the health of your blood vessels. It compares people with paraplegia to those without an injury to understand the differences.
This study looks at whether low testosterone affects blood vessel health in men with recent spinal cord injury. It tests if testosterone replacement can help improve blood vessel function.
This study tests a way to manage blood pressure after a traumatic spinal cord injury. It aims to improve blood flow to the injured area and help recovery.
This study looks at how the autonomic nervous system (which controls things like heart rate and blood pressure) changes after a spinal cord injury. It aims to predict later health problems.
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 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.
