Researching electrical stimulation for blood pressure control in Parkinson's patients.

18-90 years
All
Phase N/A

This study looks at a treatment called Epidural Electrical Stimulation (EES) for people with Parkinson's Disease (PD) who have a problem called orthostatic hypotension. This is when blood pressure drops when you stand up, making you feel dizzy or faint.

Key Points:

  • The study is for adults over 18 with typical or atypical PD and orthostatic hypotension.
  • Participants must be willing to attend all appointments and follow study rules.
  • People with certain medical conditions or recent heart events cannot join.

To join, you must speak French or English, and your health should be stable. You cannot join if you're pregnant or planning to be. The study wants to see if EES can safely help manage blood pressure when standing. Participants will need to sign a consent form before any procedures begin.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.
