Conditions

Health Condition 1: G89-G99- Other disorders of the nervous system

Interventions

Intervention1: Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (procedure): frequency – 30 Hz to 10KHz

Stimulus – Monophasic/biphasic stimulation, starting with low stimulation intensity, pulse width and frequency and titrating upwards till maximum tolerable threshold or till favourable clinical improv

if desirable clinical improvement/intolerable side effects (pain, arrhythmia, breathlessness) – whichever is earlier Control Intervention1: NA: NA

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients of all age groups presenting with sub-axial spinal cord injury with neurogenic shock
