First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This Mayo Clinic study measures how well the autonomic nervous system works after spinal cord injury. Researchers will test blood pressure control and nerve responses in 69 people with and without injury. Participants also wear a smartwatch to track skin signals, heart rate, and temperature at home. The goal is to better understand and manage common problems like blood pressure swings and bladder issues.
