Summary

This study is a pilot clinical trial to explore the efficacy of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TCSCS) (proof-of-concept) in mitigating crucial autonomic dysfunctions that impact the health-related quality of life of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Autonomic Dysfunction
  • Sexual Dysfunction
  • Neurogenic Bladder Dysfunction
  • Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction
  • Autonomic Dysreflexia
  • Orthostatic Hypotension

Interventions

DEVICE

TESCoN or SCONE device - Thoracic stimulation

TCSCS will be delivered using a non-invasive central nervous system stimulator (TESCoN or SCONE, SpineX Inc., CA, USA). The stimulation site will be over the thoracic spinal cord.

DEVICE

TESCoN or SCONE device - Lumbosacral stimulation

TCSCS will be delivered using a non-invasive central nervous system stimulator (TESCoN or SCONE, SpineX Inc., CA, USA). The stimulation site will be over the lumbosacral spinal cord.
