First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive spinal cord stimulation combined with arm-crank exercise can improve blood pressure and heart rate control in people with chronic spinal cord injury at or above the T6 level. Sixteen adults aged 21-65 will receive either real or sham stimulation during exercise over 8-16 weeks. The goal is to help the body better regulate automatic functions like blood pressure, making daily activities easier.
