Spinal cord stimulation for blood pressure control in hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulator already used for pain can also help control blood pressure. If successful, it could offer a new way to manage hypertension.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You already have a spinal cord stimulator placed in your lower back for chronic pain.
- You have high blood pressure or take medication for it.
- You are able to attend a study visit and tolerate temporary monitoring and stimulation tests.
- You are not pregnant, and you do not have unstable heart disease or an active infection.

This study tests a new way to help people with spinal cord injury who have problems with low blood pressure, especially when they sit or stand. It uses a small device that gently stimulates the spinal cord to help keep blood pressure steady, which may help you feel less dizzy and more stable.
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 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 trial tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can help manage blood pressure drops (orthostatic hypotension) in people with Parkinson's and related conditions. It might make daily activities like standing and walking easier.
This study looks at how a device that sends mild signals to the area around your spinal cord may work for long-lasting (chronic) pain. You may be asked to visit a research lab, have blood taken, and follow the study plan so researchers can understand the treatment’s effects.
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.
