Leg crouches and tensing may boost blood pressure in fainting kids
NCT ID NCT05633693
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether simple leg movements, like crossing legs or tensing buttock muscles, can raise blood pressure in children aged 6-18 who faint often. Researchers will measure heart and blood flow responses during these movements in 30 children. The goal is to understand how body position and muscle use affect fainting, not to test a treatment.
