Predicting blood pressure changes in spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a simple finger sensor to monitor blood pressure regulation in people with spinal cord injury. It aims to find a new way to predict and manage blood pressure issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a spinal cord injury between C4 and T12 for more than one year, and you cannot voluntarily move your legs (ASIA A or B).
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must avoid caffeine, alcohol, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours before the study visit.
- You cannot participate if you have heart disease, kidney disease, untreated thyroid disease, diabetes, or a traumatic brain injury.
- You need to be a non-smoker and weigh within a healthy range (BMI under 30).

This study looks at a treatment approach for people with a new spinal cord injury who have unstable blood pressure. It may help the team understand how to manage blood pressure problems during early recovery.
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 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 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 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 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.
