Breathing low oxygen could tame dangerous blood pressure swings in spinal injury patients

NCT ID NCT06691165

Summary

This study is testing whether breathing brief, controlled amounts of low oxygen air can help stabilize blood pressure in people with chronic spinal cord injuries. Unstable blood pressure is a major problem after these injuries and significantly increases the risk of heart disease. Researchers will measure 24-hour blood pressure and heart function before and after a 4-day treatment to see if this therapy can help.
