NCT ID NCT07210411
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Mayo Clinic study is looking at how spinal cord stimulation affects blood pressure, heart rate, and immune function in people with spinal cord injuries. Researchers will test how the body handles changes in blood pressure using simple tasks like hand cold pressor tests and breathing maneuvers. The goal is to better understand autonomic nervous system responses, not to treat the injury itself.
