Warm legs, safer pregnancy? home heat therapy tested for High-Risk moms
NCT ID NCT06932250
Summary
This study is testing whether a simple home treatment—using a heated blanket on the legs—can help prevent dangerous high blood pressure disorders in pregnant women with obesity. Researchers will enroll 118 women early in pregnancy and randomly assign them to use either a warm blanket or a room-temperature blanket on their legs several times a week for 16 weeks. The goal is to see if the leg heating improves blood vessel function and lowers blood pressure, potentially reducing pregnancy risks without medication.
