Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)
There have been reports of autonomic dysreflexia resulting in headaches in individuals undertaking functional electrical stimulation. Caution should be exercised in the use of functional electrical stimulation by people with a spinal cord injury with lesion levels above the major splanchnic outflow (T6).
If an autonomic headache is experienced whilst undertaking functional electrical stimulation, the program should be halted, which in most cases will result in the cessation of autonomic dysreflexia. If a muscle tear or fracture has occurred, then the headaches may continue after stimulation has ceased. Generally, individuals with osteoporosis, severe spasticity, contractures and pressure sores may experience autonomic dysreflexia symptoms whilst using functional electrical stimulation. In some cases autonomic dysreflexia is causes by the electrical current passing through, and activating the muscles.
If any of the above sources of pain are found, they must be addressed in order for Autonomic Dysreflexia to be relieved.
