Can skin sensor predict blood pressure drop during spinal anesthesia?
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple skin sensor can predict a dangerous drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for older adults having urologic cancer surgery. If it works, doctors could take steps to prevent dizziness or fainting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery to treat a urologic (kidney, bladder, prostate, or testicular) cancer.
- Your surgery will be done using spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected into your lower back).
- You do not have a pacemaker or a serious heart rhythm issue.
- You do not have a condition that affects your body's automatic functions, like severe nerve damage from diabetes or Parkinson's disease.

This study looks at how blood flow in your fingers relates to low blood pressure during knee surgery. It may help doctors better manage anesthesia for future patients.
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.
This trial uses an ultrasound measurement of blood flow in the neck to predict if a pregnant woman will experience low blood pressure after receiving spinal anesthesia for a C-section. This could help doctors take steps to prevent it.
This study tests whether a device that delivers mild electrical stimulation through the skin can improve low blood pressure after an acute spinal cord injury. It may help reduce episodes of dizziness or faint-feeling caused by blood pressure dropping when you sit up.
This study looks at whether frailty (a measure of weakness and fatigue) in older adults affects the risk of low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for surgery. It aims to help doctors predict and prevent this complication.
This trial uses ultrasound to check your internal jugular vein, which may help predict if your blood pressure will drop during spinal anesthesia. It aims to find better ways to keep you safe during surgery.
