Breathing and relaxation for pre-hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests two gentle techniques—deep breathing (Pranayama) and progressive muscle relaxation—to see if they can help lower blood pressure in people with pre-hypertension. You would attend practice sessions and follow-up visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether combining a special breathing technique with aerobic interval training (short bursts of exercise) can help lower blood pressure and heart strain in people with hypertension. It may offer a safe, drug-free way to manage your condition.
This study tests whether combining special breathing techniques with treadmill walking can help lower blood pressure and improve breathing function in people with slightly elevated blood pressure. If you have early-stage high blood pressure, this trial might help you avoid needing medication.
This study tests whether combining special breathing techniques (Pilates and diaphragmatic breathing) with moderate cycling exercise can help lower blood pressure and improve lung function in people with high blood pressure. You'll practice these techniques over several weeks to see if they reduce your blood pressure more effectively than exercise alone.
This study tests whether combining special breathing techniques (coherent breathing) with aerobic exercise helps lower blood pressure and improve quality of life in people with stage 1 hypertension. You'll learn these techniques and perform them regularly to see if they work better together than exercise alone.
This trial tests whether yoga can improve heart and mental health in people with high blood pressure. It is for adults who have their blood pressure under control with up to three medications and have not exercised in the last six months.
This trial tests whether breathing exercises taught through an app can improve blood vessel function and nervous system control in people with high blood pressure. It may help you manage your blood pressure without medication.
