Exercise and blood vessel health in children with pulmonary hypertension
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how exercise affects the lungs, blood vessels, and oxygen use in children with pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It compares them to healthy children to understand how the condition impacts the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be between 6 and 18 years old.
- Must have a diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) and be stable on standard treatment.
- No acute infections, or problems with movement, nerves, vision, or hearing that could interfere with testing.
- Must not have participated in a planned exercise program in the last 3 months.

This study tests whether a home-based exercise program, added to your regular medications, can help people who are newly diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension feel better and improve their daily function.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure in the lungs. It aims to see if regular exercise can improve your daily function and quality of life.
This trial tests whether a smartphone app can help adolescents with pulmonary hypertension stay active and improve their health. If you are a teen with stable PH and can use an activity tracker, this study may be a good fit.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program, done with remote support, is safe and helpful for children with pulmonary hypertension. It aims to improve how well kids function day-to-day while they stay on their usual PH medications.
This study tests whether a special exercise training program can help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) feel better and stay stable. If you have mild-to-moderate PAH and are on stable medication, you may be able to join.
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.
