Breathe and cycle your way to lower blood pressure?
NCT ID NCT07177989
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether adding alternate nostril breathing to aerobic interval training (stationary cycling) can lower blood pressure and heart rate more than exercise alone. Researchers will enroll 36 adults aged 25-50 with stage 1 or 2 hypertension. Participants will cycle 3 days a week for 5 weeks, with one group also doing the breathing technique. The goal is to find a simple, non-drug approach to better manage high blood pressure.

Active substance
alternate nostril breathing and aerobic interval training (stationary cycling)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to help manage high blood pressure using breathing and exercise.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 36 people over 5 weeks. Results may not apply to everyone, and the combined effect might not be better than exercise alone.
