First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tested a non-invasive method using mild electrical stimulation on the skin over the spine to help raise and stabilize blood pressure in 10 veterans with spinal cord injury who had chronically low blood pressure. The goal was to find the best placement and settings for the stimulation to keep blood pressure in a healthy range. The approach aims to reduce the risk of heart disease, which is a leading cause of death in this population.
