Spinal cord stimulation for low blood pressure in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if spinal cord stimulation can help with dangerously low blood pressure when standing, a common problem in Parkinson's disease. It aims to understand how this treatment works.

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 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 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 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 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.
