Summary
This study looked at whether regularly warming the lower legs in warm water (about 107°F) could help lower blood pressure in women aged 60-85 with high blood pressure. Participants did this 4 times a week for 8 weeks, while also taking a standard blood pressure pill. The goal was to see if adding heat therapy works better than medication alone. The study measured blood pressure, nerve activity, and blood vessel health.
