"I felt dizzy all the time, I had no energy - I slept the entire day,”
Julie Verlinden says.
In 2022, Julie was returning to Belgium from studying abroad when she was injured in a car accident and became paralyzed. Back home, she encountered an unexpected challenge: blood pressure instability.
After spinal cord injury, many people experience symptomatic blood pressure instability, where disruptions in the autonomic nervous system cause blood pressure to fluctuate between abnormally low and high levels. Blood pressure instability and persistent low blood pressure can threaten neurological recovery and negatively impact cardiovascular health and overall quality of life. In Julie’s case, it made sitting up, socializing, and even thinking difficult.
?? Julie is a clinical trial participant. In this video, she explains how our investigational ARC-IM® System, an implanted neuromodulation platform designed to deliver targeted and personalized spinal cord stimulation, helped her get her life back.
The ARC-IM System is currently being evaluated as part of Empower BP, a global pivotal study assessing the safety and efficacy of the implantable neurostimulation technology in addressing blood pressure instability following #SCI.
