Diet and Exercise Solutions for Low Blood Pressure After Meals in Spinal Cord Injury
This study is looking at ways to help people with chronic spinal cord injury who experience low blood pressure after eating, a condition called postprandial hypotension. Researchers are testing if a low glycemic load diet (a diet that helps keep blood sugar steady) and lower-body electrical stimulation exercise after meals can reduce this drop in blood pressure. They will compare these interventions to a high glycemic load diet. The study aims to see how much systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading) decreases. You may be able to join if you are between 18 and 65 years old, have a spinal cord injury between C4 and T12, use a wheelchair, and are at least one year post-injury. The current status of the study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 13 participants.
