Could controlled breathing stop dangerous blood pressure spikes in spinal injury patients?

NCT ID NCT05351827

Summary

This study is testing whether a breathing treatment called mild intermittent hypoxia can help prevent dangerous blood pressure swings in people with spinal cord injuries. Researchers will have 24 participants with spinal cord injuries and sleep breathing problems try this treatment for 8 days over two weeks, combined with standard nightly breathing support. The goal is to see if this approach can improve the body's automatic blood pressure control and reduce risks like fainting or heart problems.
