Transcutaneous Stimulation in Spinal Cord Injury

About this trial

This trial is enrolling individuals with chronic cervical (neck area) spinal cord injuries to test the effect of skin surface (transcutaneous) spinal cord stimulation (TSCS) on autonomic function, in particular on blood pressure management. The procedure stimulates the spinal cord using electrodes placed on the skin. If included, participants will complete 7-8 study visits, of between 3-5 hours. Researchers will provoke orthostatic (blood pressure) variation as the participant lies on an adjustable tilt table, measuring blood pressure either with or without stimulation. The study hopes to identify the optimal electrode placement and stimulation parameters to regulate blood pressure.
