Summary

This study tests a home-based treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) for people with spinal cord injury. RIC uses a blood pressure cuff to briefly restrict blood flow, which may improve heart and blood vessel health. Researchers will compare different cuff types and doses in 24 participants over 6 weeks to see if the treatment is practical and beneficial.
