Autonomic changes and health problems after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 to 75 years old
- Spinal cord injury between the C6 and T12 vertebrae
- Injury classified as ASIA A, B, C, or D
- Injury happened either less than 3 months ago or more than 1 year ago
- No serious heart, lung, nerve, or diabetes conditions

This study looks at how well the body’s automatic nerve functions (like heart and blood pressure control) work after a traumatic spinal cord injury. The goal is to better understand preserved nerve function and autonomic (automatic body) control, which could help guide future treatments.
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects the body over time after a spinal cord injury. It may help understand if this treatment can improve nerve function and overall health.
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.
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 people after a recent, serious injury—especially a new spinal cord injury—to see how research and clinical knowledge can be improved. Depending on your group (spinal cord injury, other trauma, or healthy), you may be invited to participate if you meet age and injury timing needs.
This trial studies how nerve pathways in the spinal cord help control movements in people with spinal cord injury. It may help researchers better understand movement control and could lead to improved rehab strategies.
