First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 94 adults with a recent spinal cord injury to see if keeping their blood pressure at a higher or lower target helped them heal better. Participants were split into two groups: one with a standard blood pressure goal and one with a higher goal, maintained for seven days. The researchers measured changes in arm, leg, and sensory function to see which approach might lead to better recovery.
