NCT ID NCT07674511
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores whether applying mild electrical stimulation to the spinal cord through the skin can improve blood pressure control in people with spinal cord injury. Participants will undergo tilt-table tests to measure immediate effects, plus 20 stimulation sessions to see if benefits last. The goal is to reduce dangerous drops in blood pressure and related symptoms like dizziness and fainting.
