Summary
This study looks at whether regularly heating the legs with a portable sauna blanket can improve blood vessel health and lower the risk of high blood pressure disorders in pregnant women with obesity. About 118 women will be randomly assigned to use a warm or a cool blanket at home for 16 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in blood vessel function and nerve activity to see if this simple, drug-free approach can help prevent pregnancy complications.
