What are the ultimate aims of this clinical experiment?
"This medical trial aims to identify the most beneficial stimulation frequency over a 3 week period. Secondary measurements involve SCI-QOL questionnaires administered through computer adaptive testing, GRA for gauging patient perceptions of treatment effectiveness, and diastolic blood pressure readings conducted throughout the study." - Anonymous Online Contributor
May I be included in the experiment?
"This medical trial requires an enrolment of 5 individuals aged between 18 and 75, all having suffered a spinal cord injury for more than 6 months. Eligibility also entails: Injury level at or above T6 (thoracic vertebra), American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale grades A-D, Baseline hypotension - resting supine/seated systolic BP < 90mmHg; Systolic blood pressure drop ≥ 20 mm Hg within 5 minutes of sitting up; Orthostatic symptoms with SBP (<90mmHg) decrease from lie-down to upright position." - Anonymous Online Contributor
