Remote arm conditioning and mindfulness for mild high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether doing “remote ischemic preconditioning” (repeated brief conditioning of a limb) and mindfulness helps people with mild high blood pressure over the long term. It may help lower blood pressure and improve heart-related health, if you can safely do the required activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with mild high blood pressure: systolic 140–159 and diastolic 90–99
- You can tolerate remote ischemic preconditioning (the trial’s limb-conditioning procedure)
- Your high blood pressure is considered essential/high blood pressure (not a non-essential/secondary cause)
- You do not have uncontrolled severe rhythm problems (severe arrhythmia)
- You do not have major uncontrolled problems such as severe heart attack, heart failure, or severely abnormal kidney function
- You do not have significant uncontrolled blood sugar or major electrolyte (salt/mineral) problems

This study tests a non-drug treatment called remote ischemic conditioning to see if it can lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure who live at high altitudes. The treatment involves briefly inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff on the arm, which may help improve blood pressure control.
This study tests whether a mindfulness training program can help people with high blood pressure improve their health. If you join, you will practice mindfulness and use a smartphone app to track your progress.
This trial tests if combining a new heart procedure with a special type of therapy called mindfulness therapy can help prevent heart problems in people with coronary artery disease that could not be fully fixed with stents or surgery.
This trial studies whether a simple, at-home type of treatment using brief arm blood-flow changes can improve blood flow to the heart and outcomes after CABG (heart bypass surgery). It may help some people recover better by protecting the heart around the time of surgery.
This study tests whether a simple, noninvasive procedure called Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) — where a blood pressure cuff is briefly tightened on an arm or leg — can improve long-term recovery for people who have had a heart attack. The treatment is done many times over a long period to see if it helps the heart heal and reduces future problems.
This trial tests if a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (briefly restricting blood flow to an arm) can safely lower blood pressure in people with essential hypertension. It is for adults aged 30-75 whose blood pressure is consistently high despite standard care.
