This feasibility trial is enrolling 6 participants with spinal cord injury or multiple system atrophy to test the safety of home-based transcutaneous spinal stimulation (tSS) for blood pressure regulation. tSS is a non-invasive technique that uses skin surface electrodes to deliver electrical stimulation aimed at modifying spinal cord function. If included, participants will first complete a 2-week clinic-based stimulation period using the SCONE device. This will be followed by 6 weeks of home-based tSS therapy, involving twice-daily 1-hour sessions. Final testing of safety and feasibility will be performed after 10 weeks.
