Breathing and Walking Exercise for Early High Blood Pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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 trial tests a smartphone app that guides you through breathing exercises to see if they can improve your blood pressure and heart health. It might help you manage your blood pressure without extra 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 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 (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 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.
This study tests a home program that uses a smartphone app to guide slow breathing and walking. It aims to help people with high blood pressure lower their numbers naturally.
