NCT ID NCT05725499
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether mild electrical stimulation on the back can help stabilize blood pressure in people with chronic spinal cord injury who experience dizziness or fainting when sitting up. Five participants will have their blood pressure measured while tilted on a table, with and without stimulation. The goal is to find the best spot and settings on the spine to keep blood pressure in a normal range.

Active substance
transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-invasive way to manage dangerous blood pressure drops in people with spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 5 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The effect may be small or not last over time.
