A new implant stabilizes blood pressure in spinal injury patients using targeted stimulation, improving energy and quality of life.
A new implant using targeted electrical stimulation has shown promise in stabilizing dangerous blood pressure fluctuations in people with spinal cord injuries, according to research published in Nature and Nature Medicine.
The device, controlled by a smartphone app, helps restore blood pressure control within minutes, reducing symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, and post-meal energy crashes.
Tested on 14 patients across Canada, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, it improved alertness, energy, and quality of life by counteracting abnormal spinal neuron activity linked to blood pressure instability.
Building on existing spinal stimulator technology with a proven safety record, the therapy offers a significant advancement for a condition often overlooked after spinal injuries.
