First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looked at 94 adults with a recent spinal cord injury to see if keeping blood pressure at a higher or lower target for the first week helps recovery. Participants were split into two groups: one with a standard blood pressure goal and one with a higher goal. Researchers measured changes in arm, leg, and sensory function to see which approach might be better.
