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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Vitamin B6
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to help people with peripheral artery disease exercise more safely.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study in healthy volunteers, not patients. It only looks at short-term blood pressure changes, not long-term benefits or risks.
