Eating and body heat in high spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how eating affects your body's heat production and calorie burning in people with high spinal cord injuries. It may help understand how to better manage weight and energy after injury.
