First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether doing simple handgrip exercises at home for 8 weeks can lower blood pressure in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Researchers will measure changes in resting blood pressure, blood vessel function, and stiffness. The study involves 50 adults aged 45-85 with moderate CKD who do not exercise regularly.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help manage blood pressure in people with chronic kidney disease.
