Diet and exercise for low blood pressure after meals
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether specific diet and exercise plans can help prevent blood pressure drops after eating in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). If you have SCI and use a wheelchair, this trial may help you find ways to manage low blood pressure after meals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal cord injury between the C4 and T12 levels and use a wheelchair daily.
- Your injury is classified as AIS A or B (complete injury).
- Your injury happened more than 1 year ago.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding and do not have type 1 or 2 diabetes.
- You have not had bariatric or gut surgery, use an abdominal binder, or take medications for low blood pressure.
- You do not have a pacemaker or defibrillator, and have not had electrical stimulation training in the past year.

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 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 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 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 a non-invasive method called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief cycles of inflation and deflation of a blood pressure cuff on the arm. It may help improve health outcomes for people with spinal cord injury who are not currently able to exercise.
