Spinal cord stimulation for blood pressure in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can help manage blood pressure drops (orthostatic hypotension) in people with Parkinson's and related conditions. It might make daily activities like standing and walking easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have Parkinson's disease or a related condition (like multiple system atrophy or pure autonomic failure)
- You have been diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when standing) that causes symptoms and makes daily life hard
- You are able to understand study instructions in French or English
- You are willing to attend all study visits and follow the study rules
- You have no other major health issues that would make surgery risky

This study tests whether adjusting the ratio of carbidopa and levodopa (medications used for Parkinson's) can help reduce dizziness or fainting from low blood pressure when standing up, in people with Multiple System Atrophy (Parkinsonian type) or Parkinson's disease.
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.
This study looks at how blood pressure is controlled in people with Parkinson's disease, especially those who feel dizzy when standing up. It may help doctors understand and treat this problem better.
This study tests if a spinal cord stimulator can help people with Parkinson's disease who experience sudden drops in blood pressure when standing up (orthostatic hypotension). The treatment involves a small device that sends electrical signals to the spinal cord, which may help regulate blood pressure.
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 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.
