Background: Autonomic dysreflexia is a common clinical presentation in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Objectives: To study the effect of the neuromodulation on autonomic dysreflexia in patients with SCI. Methods: Forty SCI patients from both sexes had participated in this study. They were assigned randomly into two equal groups, (A and B). Patients in group (A); the study group received TENS therapy in addition to selective physical therapy program for AD. Group (B); the control group received the same selective physical therapy program only. Electrocardiogram monitor was used to assess blood pressure, pulse rate variation and ECG device was used to assess heart rate variability before and after eight weeks training period for both groups. Results: There was a statistically significant decrease in all measured parameters of the ECG monitor in both groups (A and B) in favor to group A (p<0.05). Conclusion: Neuromodulation had a beneficial effect on improving autonomic dysreflexia in patients with SCI
