NCT ID NCT07665034
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether doing wall squat exercises for 14 minutes, three times a week, can lower blood pressure and slow the buildup of plaque in arteries. Researchers will compare 100 people doing the squats with 100 people doing gentle stretching, all with high blood pressure. The goal is to see if this simple exercise can improve blood pressure and artery health over one year.

Active substance
isometric resistance exercise (wall squat)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help control blood pressure and reduce heart disease risk.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-sized early study, not a large final-stage trial. The expected blood pressure drop is modest, and results may not apply to all patients.
