Spinal cord stimulation for blood pressure drops in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether spinal cord stimulation can improve symptoms in people with parkinsonism (Parkinson-like movement problems). It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helpful for the right patients.
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.
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 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 whether a non-invasive spinal cord stimulation device can help regulate blood pressure in people with spinal cord injury who have low blood pressure symptoms. It may help you feel less dizzy or faint when you sit or stand up.
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.
