Restoring Hemodynamic Stability Using Targeted Epidural Spinal Stimulation Following Spinal Cord Injury
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Device implantation for Spinal Cord Injuries. Terminated early, enrolled 4 participants across 1 site.
Signals
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to stimulate the circuits in the spinal cord that are directly responsible for hemodynamic control to restore hemodynamic stability in patients with chronic cervical or high-thoracic spinal cord injury. The ultimate objective of this feasibility study is to provide preliminary safety and efficacy measures on the ability of the hemodynamic Targeted Epidural Spinal Stimulation (TESS) to ensure the long-term management of hemodynamic instability and reduce the incidence and severity of orthostatic hypotension and autonomic dysreflexia episodes in humans with chronic cervical or high-thoracic spinal cord injury. In addition, the long-term safety and efficacy of TESS on cardiovascular health, respiratory function, spasticity, trunk stability and quality of life in patients with chronic spinal cord injury will be evaluated.

Interventions
The intervention involves the insertion of 2 lead electrodes (Specify Surescan 5-6-5 Leads, Model 977C190 Medtronic) epidurally over the dorsal aspect of the spinal cord through 2 laminectomies and two implantable pulse generators (Intellis™ with AdaptiveStim™, Model 97715 Medtronic) in the abdomen of the participant.
