Breathing Exercises With Aerobic Activity for Early-Stage High Blood Pressure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Age between 30 and 65 years old

- Currently doing mild to moderate physical activity (like brisk walking or light sports)
- Able to understand and follow study instructions
- No serious heart conditions, lung disease, or recent bone fractures

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 a smartphone app that guides you through slow breathing and aerobic exercise can help lower blood pressure in people with mild to moderate hypertension. You'll use the app at home and the goal is to see if this addition safely improves your numbers.
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.
This study compares a breathing-based exercise program with regular aerobic exercise to help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel function in postmenopausal women. It’s mainly for people with mildly elevated resting blood pressure who are not already doing very intense workouts.
