Evaluating the Effects of a Mindfulness Intervention on Health Outcomes in Individuals With Hypertension

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of adding the Mindfulness in Motion (MIM) program to usual primary care for people with high blood pressure. MIM is a facilitated, 8-week online program that teaches simple ways to manage stress using mindfulness practices. The program also includes the use of a companion smartphone app throughout the 12-month study period. In this study, investigators will compare people who receive their usual care and take part in the MIM program with those who receive usual care alone to see if it helps improve blood pressure, weight, stress, sleep, and overall well-being. Over 12 months, participants will be asked to complete short questionnaires about stress, sleep, and resilience four times via a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
