This study is investigating whether transcutaneous spinal stimulation, which involves applying electrical stimulation to the spinal cord through the skin, can help manage blood pressure in people with spinal cord injuries. Researchers want to see if this stimulation has immediate effects on blood pressure and if it can lead to lasting improvements, especially for orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when moving from lying down to sitting or standing). You might be able to join if you are 18-75 years old, have had a spinal cord injury for at least one year, and experience persistent low blood pressure or orthostatic hypotension. The study aims to enroll 10 participants and will measure changes in systolic blood pressure to see if the treatment is successful.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 10 participants to test the effects of transcutaneous spinal stimulation.

What's involved

You would undergo a tilt test with stimulation and participate in 20 separate 30-minute sessions of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation while seated.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your systolic blood pressure will be measured at 1 month and again through study completion, which is an average of 5 months.
