Exercise program study for mental health and blood vessel health
Part of Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether an exercise training program can improve how well your blood vessels work in people with certain mental health conditions. You may join as someone with PTSD, someone with generalized anxiety, or as a healthy control group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be free of known major heart, lung, or metabolic diseases (no obvious cardiovascular, pulmonary, or metabolic illness).
- If you’re joining the PTSD group, you need a PTSD symptom score of 33 or higher on the PCL-5 questionnaire.
- If you’re joining the GAD group, you need a GAD-7 anxiety score of 10 or higher, and a PCL-5 score below 33.
- If you’re joining the healthy control group, you need a GAD-7 score of 10 or lower, and a PCL-5 score below 33.
- You must not take medications that could affect blood vessel or cardiovascular function.
- You must not be pregnant; also avoid recent smoking/quit smoking, illicit drug use, or excessive alcohol use; and you should not have significant calorie restriction or vitamin/mineral deficiencies.

This study looks at how an exercise program affects blood vessel function (“vascular function”) in people with certain mental health conditions, and compares them to people without those symptoms. It may help researchers understand whether exercise could improve heart and blood vessel health alongside mental health symptoms.
This study tests whether an exercise training program can improve how well blood vessels work in people with PTSD or generalized anxiety. You may be placed into a PTSD, GAD, or healthy control group based on questionnaire scores.
This study tests if a supervised exercise program can improve heart health in people with PTSD. It may help reduce your risk of heart disease.
This study tests whether regular group exercise helps improve mental health in people with anxiety or depression. You would join exercise sessions at least twice a week and see if your symptoms get better.
This study compares how moderate and high-intensity interval training affect blood vessel function in healthy adults and those with slightly elevated blood pressure (prehypertension). It aims to see which exercise type may improve vascular health.
This study tests how well blood vessels work in women with PTSD by measuring nitric oxide levels. It may help understand why PTSD affects heart health and could lead to better treatments.
