Spinal cord stimulation at home for blood pressure issues
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests using a gentle electrical device on your spine at home to help with dizziness from low blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension). It is for people with chronic spinal cord injury or multiple system atrophy who live in British Columbia.

This study tests a noninvasive spinal cord stimulation device for people with recent or long-term spinal cord injury. It aims to improve bladder function and is conducted in British Columbia, Canada, and Ukraine.
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve bladder, bowel, and other automatic body functions during inpatient rehab after a recent spinal cord injury. It's for people who have a non-worsening injury at or above the T6 level and are within 4 months of their injury.
This study tests a new way to help people with spinal cord injury who have problems with low blood pressure, especially when they sit or stand. It uses a small device that gently stimulates the spinal cord to help keep blood pressure steady, which may help you feel less dizzy and more stable.
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 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 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.
