Sitting and blood pressure study for healthy adults
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests how substances from your blood vessels (EDHFs) help control blood pressure after you sit for a long time. It may help explain why sitting too much is bad for your heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 40 (this means you are not severely obese).
- You have not smoked nicotine or marijuana most days in the last 6 months.
- You have never been diagnosed with heart, blood vessel, lung, metabolic (like diabetes), or blood pressure problems.
- You are not taking any medications for heart, metabolic, lung, or nerve conditions, and you do not take sildenafil (Viagra) regularly.
- You are not allergic to medical adhesive tape.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not regularly take certain medications (like some antifungals, heartburn drugs, certain antidepressants, antibiotics, statins, ibuprofen-type pain relievers, or vitamin A supplements).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how a naturally occurring “blood-vessel control” factor affects blood vessel function, mainly in people who are otherwise healthy. It’s likely aimed at understanding normal vascular control and whether the factor changes how blood flow is regulated.
This study looks at how histamines affect blood pressure and heart function in healthy young adults. You will visit the lab three times to help researchers understand these effects.
This study looks at how physical activity and regular blood pressure checks relate to heart health signals on imaging. It’s meant for people without major heart, stroke, diabetes, or serious chronic illnesses to understand early cardiovascular risk.
This trial compares how different body positions (sitting vs standing) affect blood and heart-related measurements in otherwise healthy adults. It may help researchers understand which position is better for metabolic and cardiovascular health.
This study looks at how reducing sitting time and increasing physical activity affects heart and metabolic health in adults who sit a lot but don't exercise much.
This study tests two drink mixes that may help keep blood pressure in a healthy range. Researchers want to make sure the drinks are safe and well-tolerated by healthy adults ages 18 to 50 with normal blood pressure.
