Heart health in spinal cord injury with autonomic dysreflexia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how the heart is built and works in people with long-term spinal cord injury, especially those who have autonomic dysreflexia. It might help doctors understand heart risks and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a spinal cord injury or disorder for more than 10 years.
- Your injury is motor-complete (no voluntary movement below the level of injury).
- This study includes two groups: one with high-level injury (above Th6) and autonomic dysreflexia, and another with low-level injury (below Th10) without autonomic dysreflexia.

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 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 is testing whether mild intermittent hypoxia (brief episodes of reduced oxygen) can improve autonomic nervous system function (which controls things like blood pressure and heart rate) in people with incomplete spinal cord injuries. It may help reduce symptoms like dizziness or irregular heart rate.
This study looks at how the heart and blood vessels change in the first year after a spinal cord injury. It also tests if electrical stimulation can help improve low blood pressure, which is common after injury.
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.
This study tests how resistance training (like lifting weights) affects your body's automatic functions, such as heart rate and blood pressure. It is for people with chronic spinal cord injury in the neck or upper back.
