NCT ID NCT05731986
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation on the back can help stabilize blood pressure in people who recently had a spinal cord injury. Participants will undergo sit-up tests with and without stimulation to see if it prevents dizziness and keeps blood pressure in a healthy range. The goal is to improve comfort and participation during early rehabilitation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to manage blood pressure drops after spinal cord injury, helping patients engage more fully in rehabilitation.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 12 participants. The effects may not be strong or lasting, and individual responses could vary widely.
