NCT ID NCT07363447
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two ways of doing exercise at home for people with high blood pressure. One group exercised with a live physiotherapist on video calls, while the other followed pre-recorded videos. Over 8 weeks, researchers measured changes in exercise capacity, blood pressure, and heart function. The goal was to see which method works better for managing hypertension remotely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- aerobic exercise training via telerehabilitation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that remote exercise programs are a practical way to help people with high blood pressure improve their fitness and heart health.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 31 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the short 8-week duration limits conclusions about long-term benefits.
