Warm belly, cooler blood pressure? nighttime heat test for rare disorder

NCT ID NCT03042988

Summary

This study is testing if applying gentle, controlled heat to the abdomen at night can safely lower high blood pressure in people with autonomic failure, a rare nerve disorder. Researchers will compare the effects of real heat versus a sham (fake) treatment in 20 participants. The goal is to find a new way to manage this difficult nighttime blood pressure problem without making daytime symptoms worse.
