Warm Water Study for Women Across the Lifespan
Protocol: STUDY00010175
Full Title
Efficacy of passive heat therapy on cerebrovascular function: impact of menopause
Description
As women get older and begin menopause, their bodies make less of certain hormones. This can raise their chances of having health problems like stroke or memory diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Exercise is one of the best ways to keep the brain healthy, but not everyone can do regular exercise.

Scientists have found that sitting in warm water may help lower blood pressure and improve how blood moves to the brain. But we still don’t know if warm water can also help the brain work better or improve how blood vessels function, especially for women going through different stages of menopause.

This study is being done to see if spending time in warm water can help improve women’s brain health. Learning this could help us find new ways to support women’s brain health as they age.

This study will last for 8 weeks. Participants will complete 4 visits at the beginning of the study that will take about 2 hours. Then they will complete 3 visits per week for 30 minutes per day. All study visits will be on the UB South Campus (at Main Street and Bailey Avenue).

Participants can earn up to $800.
