Researchers Uncover Way to Regulate Blood Pressure Post-Spinal Cord Injury

Researchers from the University of Calgary have developed a platform that can be used to understand the mechanisms that cause blood pressure instability after a spinal cord injury. Their findings have led to the creation of spinal cord stimulators that can be used to link the autonomous regulation system of an individual’s body, thus controlling blood pressure without using drugs. Grégoire Courtine from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and Dr. Aaron Phillips from Cumming School of Medicine (“CSM”) at the University of Calgary, co-led the global study, whose results were reported in “Nature.” The study’s findings are life changing…
