Testosterone treatment for blood vessel health after spinal cord injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether low testosterone affects blood vessel health in men with recent spinal cord injury. It tests if testosterone replacement can help improve blood vessel function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
