This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study looks at whether different types of exercise (like walking or strength moves) and timing (morning vs. evening) can safely lower blood pressure in people with glaucoma and high blood pressure. About 60 adults will try four exercise sessions, and their blood pressure and eye pressure will be tracked for 24 hours. The goal is to find a safe, non-drug way to help manage both conditions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Voluntary written informed consent of the participant or their legally authorized representative has been obtained prior to any screening procedures * At least 18 years of age at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF) * Patients with POAG AND \[elevated BP OR hypertension (Average SBP on office BP and Home BP ≥120 mmHg AND/OR Average DBP on office BP and Home BP ≥70 mmHg 26) with or without the use of anti-hypertensive medication\] * Patients without recent changes in medication and glaucoma care within the past four weeks. Exclusion Criteria: * Not able to provide informed consent * SBP and/or DBP are ≥ 150 mmHg and/or ≥ 95 mmHg, respectively, on office BP at screening AND on home BP measurement conducted in the week following screening (to identify White Coat Hypertension) to ensure safety. These patients require referral for early treatment. * Aberrant cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) at screening (Life-threatening arrhythmias, ischemia,…) * Unable to perform one or more of the four exercise sessions due to physical and or mental limitations (severe lung disease, musculoskeletal issues, unstable angina,…) * Severe osteoarthritis pending knee replacement surgery (these patients may be unable to perform the IRE (i.e. wall squat exercise) * Unable to communicate in Dutch * Active malignancy * Participation in an interventional Trial with an investigational medicinal product (IMP), exercise intervention or device * Unwillingness to repeat ABPM * Relative contraindications to ABPM: diagnosed atrial fibrillation, nighttime workers, occupational drivers
