About This SCI - Spinal Cord Injury Study in San Antonio

The study is designed to investigate the effects of passive heat therapy on blood vessel health in 40 people (48 enrolled with attrition rate of 20%). Following an extensive set of vascular function tests, participants will engage in either a passive heat therapy intervention for 60 minutes, 4 times a week for 8 weeks, or a placebo intervention at a lower temperature. Seven of the 8 weeks of intervention will occur in the home setting. Vascular function tests will be repeated after the 8 weeks to determine if chronic passive heat stress improved vascular health.
