Summary

This study tests whether adding an 8-week online mindfulness program, called Mindfulness in Motion, to usual care helps people with high blood pressure improve their blood pressure, weight, stress, sleep, and well-being. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the mindfulness program plus usual care or usual care alone. Over 12 months, they will complete short questionnaires about stress, sleep, and resilience.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Mindfulness in Motion (MIM) program
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help manage high blood pressure and reduce stress.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with 140 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The mindfulness program may not lower blood pressure significantly.
