Grip Exercise and Blood Pressure in Pregnancy
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple hand-squeezing exercise can help lower blood pressure in pregnant women. You'll either have high blood pressure before pregnancy or normal blood pressure, and researchers will see if regular grip exercises help manage it safely.

This study tests whether doing handgrip exercises (squeezing a device in your hand) can help lower blood pressure. You can join if your blood pressure is on the higher side, you've been on the same medications (if any) for at least 4 months, and you're generally healthy enough to exercise.
This trial tests if simple handgrip exercises (a type of isometric resistance exercise) can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. It compares the exercise group to a control group to see if this easy activity can improve heart health.
This trial tests if a simple handgrip exercise routine can improve blood pressure and reduce artery hardening in people with high blood pressure. Participants will do the exercise at home and have regular check-ups for up to a year.
