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 study looks at whether a simple ultrasound measurement of blood flow in your neck can help predict if your blood pressure might drop during spinal anesthesia for a C-section. This could help doctors prevent dizziness and other side effects.
This study looks at how frailty affects blood pressure changes when older adults receive spinal anesthesia for surgery. It may help doctors predict and manage blood pressure drops better in frail patients.
This study checks if a simple pupil light reflex test can predict a drop in blood pressure after spinal anesthesia during elective C-sections. If it works, doctors could better manage blood pressure and reduce dizziness or nausea.
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.
