About This Spinal Cord Injuries Study in Houston

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of various hemodynamic management strategies on functional neurologic outcomes and non-neurologic adverse events in the first 5 days following acute spinal cord injury (SCI). The hemodynamic management strategies assessed include targeting a mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) goal of 85-90 mmHg, targeting a spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP) goal of ≥65 mmHg, or targeting normal hemodynamics, which is a MAP goal of ≥65 mmHg.

Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
