About This Trial
The study aims to explore how cardiovascular function changes in the first year after a spinal cord injury, and to see how different treatments, like spinal stimulation through the skin (transcutaneous spinal stimulation), affect blood pressure.
The main questions are:
How does stimulation affect blood pressure over the year? What is the level of cardiovascular activation throughout the year?
