This trial is enrolling 10 participants with chronic cervical spinal cord injury to test the effect of low oxygen therapy (LOT) on blood pressure stability. LOT is a technique that involves repeatedly breathing air with low oxygen content for brief periods, alternating with breathing room air with normal oxygen content. If included, participants will undergo 4 days of daily LOT sessions. After the intervention blood pressure will be measured over 24 hours. Final testing of blood pressure stability will be performed after 4 days.
Type
Details
- Participants will undergo daily sessions of low oxygen therapy (LOT) for 4 days. - Each session will consist of forty 1-minute intervals, with 40 seconds of low-oxygen breathing followed by 20 seconds of simulated room air breathing. - Final testing of blood pressure stability will be performed after 4 days.
