Wall Squat Exercise for Blood Pressure in Sleep Apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple wall squat exercise can help lower blood pressure in people who have both high blood pressure and sleep apnea (treated with CPAP). If you are using CPAP regularly and are otherwise healthy enough to exercise, this trial may be a good fit for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with both high blood pressure and sleep apnea (confirmed by a sleep study).
- Your sleep apnea is moderate to severe (at least 15 breathing pauses per hour of sleep).
- You have been using a CPAP machine for at least 3 months and use it for at least 4 hours each night.
- You do not have serious heart, lung, kidney, or blood vessel disease, and you have not had a heart attack or stroke in the last year.

This trial tests whether treating sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea) can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. You may join if you have high blood pressure and haven't been diagnosed with a sleep disorder before.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help improve sleep apnea and overall health for people already using CPAP therapy. You would be asked to follow a supervised exercise routine while continuing your normal CPAP treatment.
This study tests simple, low-tech treatments (like exercises) for sleep apnea. It's for people who are newly diagnosed or whose current treatment isn't working, and who are willing to pause their usual treatment for 3 months.
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 whether doing wall squats can help lower blood pressure in adults with high blood pressure. It's a simple exercise you can do at home, and it might be an easy way to improve your heart health along with your usual medication.
This trial tests whether a supervised physical activity program can help lower blood pressure in people with obstructive sleep apnea and resistant high blood pressure. It may help you control blood pressure when it has not improved despite multiple medications.
