NCT ID NCT05340686
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise, called Braining, can help people with bipolar depression recover faster and prevent future depressive episodes. Fifty-four participants will be split into three groups: one doing supervised aerobic exercise three times a week, one doing relaxation/stretching, and one receiving only information about exercise. The goal is to see if exercise improves mood and overall health compared to the other approaches.
