Summary
This study tested whether repeated sessions of passive heating (like sitting in a warm room or bath) could reduce inflammation and improve heart and blood vessel health in people with spinal cord injury. Ten participants with stable spinal cord injury underwent heating sessions three times a week for eight weeks. The goal was to see if this simple, accessible method could lower heart disease and diabetes risks, which are common after spinal cord injury.
