Non-invasive spinal cord stimulation for blood pressure after injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- Your spinal cord injury is motor-complete (little to no movement or sensation below the injury) and above the T1 vertebra.
- Your injury happened at least 12 months ago and has been stable (not getting worse).
- You have symptoms of low blood pressure when sitting or standing, like dizziness or fainting.
- You do not have major heart or lung problems, untreated depression, or other serious health issues that would interfere.

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 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 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 trial tests whether a non-invasive device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help people with a recent spinal cord injury keep their blood pressure steady. It's designed for those who experience low blood pressure when sitting or standing, which can cause dizziness or fainting.
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 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.
