NCT ID NCT06229873
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a smartphone app can guide people through a simple breathing exercise to lower systolic blood pressure. 33 adults with elevated blood pressure did 5 minutes of breathing training daily for 6 weeks, either guided by an app or by researchers in a clinic. The goal was to see if the app-based approach works as well as the clinic-based one.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help lower blood pressure at home.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 33 participants. It compares app-guided training to clinic-based training, so results may not apply to everyone. The long-term effects are unknown.
