Online mindfulness training to lower blood pressure in Black women

This trial is testing whether a mindfulness training program delivered online can help Black women with high blood pressure feel less stressed and lower their blood pressure readings. High blood pressure is especially common in Black women and increases the risk of heart disease. The study compares two programs: one focused on mindfulness techniques to manage stress, and another support group, to see which one works better.

Black women are disproportionately affected by high blood pressure, and many people struggle to control it even when they know they have it. Research shows that stress and emotional regulation play a big role in blood pressure control, so this treatment uses mindfulness—techniques to calm the mind and manage stress—to see if it can help lower blood pressure more effectively than standard support.
