Safety, Feasibility, and Efficacy of TSCS on Stabilizing Blood Pressure for Acute Inpatients With SCI (NCT06000592)
Safety, Feasibility, and Efficacy of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation on Stabilizing Blood Pressure for Acute Inpatients With Spinal Cord Injury
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Current forms of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments for hypotension and orthostatic hypotension (OH) remain inadequate during acute inpatient rehabilitation (AIR) following a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). A critical need exists for the identification of safe, practical, and effective treatment options that stabilize blood pressure (BP) after traumatic SCI. Recent published evidence suggests that transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation (TSCS) can be used to raise seated BP, and mitigate the falls in BP during orthostatic repositioning in individuals with chronic SCI. This site-specific project will focus on the use of TSCS to stabilizing seated BP and mitigate the fall in BP during orthostatic repositioning during AIR following traumatic SCI.
