Could slow breathing boost exercise benefits for high blood pressure?
NCT ID NCT07573683
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a slow breathing technique (coherent breathing) to aerobic exercise improves heart and lung health and quality of life more than exercise alone. Forty adults with stage 1 high blood pressure will take part in a 4-week program. Researchers will measure blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, and quality of life to see if the combination offers extra benefits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
coherent breathing and aerobic exercise
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to better manage early-stage high blood pressure.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, short-term study (40 people, 4 weeks). Results may not apply to everyone, and the added benefit of breathing exercises may be minimal.
