Summary

This study tests whether spinal cord stimulation (implanted or through the skin) can improve sudden drops in blood pressure when standing, a common and disabling problem in Parkinson's disease. The trial will enroll 40 adults aged 40-80 with parkinsonism who do not have dementia. Researchers will measure blood pressure changes over 24 months to see if this non-drug approach offers a safer, longer-lasting option than current medications.
