Summary
This study tests whether regular sessions of passive heat therapy (like sitting in a warm room or bath) can improve blood vessel health in people with spinal cord injury. About 48 adults will either receive heat therapy or a placebo for 60 minutes, 4 times a week for 8 weeks, mostly at home. Researchers will measure changes in blood flow and artery stiffness before and after the treatment.
