BACKGROUND: Cold application to the hand (CAH) is associated in healthy people with increase in heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP).
OBJECTIVE: To study hemodynamic responses to CAH in humans following spinal cord injuries of various levels, and examine the effect of spinal cord integrity on the cold pressor response.
DESIGN: An experimental controlled study.
SETTING: The spinal research laboratory, Loewenstein Hospital, Raanana, Israel.
SUBJECTS: Thirteen healthy subjects, 10 patients with traumatic T(4-6) paraplegia and 11 patients with traumatic C(4-7) tetraplegia.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: HR, BP, HR and BP spectral components (low frequency, LF; high frequency, HF; LF/HF), cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) and cerebrovascular resistance index (CVRi).
METHODS: The outcome measures of the three subject groups monitored for HR, BP and CBFV were compared from 5 min before to 5 min after 40-150 s of CAH. The recorded signals were digitized online and analyzed offline in both the time and frequency domains.
RESULTS: During CAH, HR and CVRi increased significantly in all subject groups (P<0.001), and BP in control subjects and in the tetraplegia group (P<0.01). BP increase was not statistically significant in paraplegia, and CBFV, HR LF, HR HF and BP LF did not change significantly during CAH in any group.
CONCLUSIONS: The CAH effect in tetraplegia and the suppressed BP increase in paraplegia, supported by the other findings, suggest a contribution of an independent thoracic spinal mechanism to the cold pressor response.
