Vitamin B6 may tame blood pressure spikes during exercise in leg artery disease

NCT ID NCT06369350

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether taking vitamin B6 for up to 31 days can reduce the sharp rise in blood pressure that happens during exercise after a temporary lack of blood flow (like a leg injury). Researchers will measure blood pressure, heart rate, nerve activity, and walking time in 30 healthy adults. The goal is to see if this cheap, non-invasive vitamin could one day help people with peripheral artery disease exercise more comfortably.
