Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

This research will constitute a 3-year follow-up that includes a re-evaluation and re-intervention of overweight or obese adults suffering from hypertension, who already participated in a similar programme with the same objectives 3 years ago. Patients will be recruited in the Hypertension Unit of a public hospital and assigned to a experimental group. The evaluation will include: eating behaviour, body mass index (BMI) and physical activity levels.

A Phase 3 Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Netarsudil Ophthalmic Solution 0.02% QD to Ripasudil Hydrochloride Hydrate Ophthalmic Solution 0.4% BID, for Treatment of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension Over A 4-Week Period.

The purpose of this study is to work with primary care physicians and their staff, and with community health workers (CHWs) to improve diabetes and hypertension management, health behaviors and improve blood pressure for South Asian patients with uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension in primary care clinics in Atlanta, Georgia. The CHWs are community members who are trained to work with patients to address health needs holistically by providing information on wellness, nutrition, stress relief, and blood pressure management in a culturally-appropriate and language-appropriate manner.

Black men face a shorter life expectancy than white men due to poorer health outcomes associated with many chronic diseases, most notably hypertension and its cardiovascular complications. A lack of access to healthcare resources and poor engagement with healthcare providers drive these inequities. A seminal trial conducted in the Metro Los Angeles area demonstrated the effectiveness of using collaborative care partnerships between black-owned barbershops and pharmacists to reduce blood pressure in black men. The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and success of implementing a single-arm, smaller-scale version of the Los Angeles study in the Nashville area to provide additional empiric support for collaborative care partnerships to treat hypertension in other geographic locations.

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, efficacy and safety study of firibastat (QGC001) administered po bid over 12 weeks in male and female subjects ≥18 years of age at Screening, with uncontrolled primary HTN. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to investigational product (IP) and will receive either firibastat (QGC001) or matching placebo on top of their current chronic antihypertensive treatments.

Hypertension is a worldwide health care burden that affects the structure and function of the macro- and microcirculation. Non-invasive vascular biomarkers are essential to timely diagnose end organ damage to improve cardiovascular (CV) risk stratification and medical decision making. The "Hypertension and retinal microvascular dysfunction" (HyperVasc) trial will investigate macro- and microvascular impairments in hypertensive patients and healthy controls to investigate hypertension-induced end organ damage by using gold-standard methods as well as newly developed and unique retinal microvascular biomarkers. Additionally, this trial will investigate the reversible effects of an eight weeks supervised and walking based high-intensity exercise intervention on blood pressure as well as macro- and microvascular health, compared to a control group with standard physical activity recommendations. Secondary outcomes will be cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity, microalbuminuria, hypertensive retinopathy, and classical cardiovascular risk marker. The results of the HyperVasc trial will improve the understanding of hypertension-induced vascular impairments and will push the development of non-invasive vascular biomarker to screen end organ damage in general CV risk stratification.

Reduction of elevated pressure in the eye (Intraocular pressure, or 'IOP') with eye drop medications has been shown to be effective in delaying or preventing the progression of glaucoma, and it is the only proven method for reducing the risk of glaucomatous visual field loss. This study is being conducted to determine how well DE-126 ophthalmic solution works (efficacy) in safely lowering IOP when dosed as topical eyedrops. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of DE-126, ophthalmic solution in subjects with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) or Ocular Hypertension (OHT). The IOP will be measured at 3 different times throughout the day, over 4 total visits during a 3-month treatment period (with up to 4 extra weeks observation if the patient must stop taking current eye drops to lower IOP). Safety assessments will be done throughout the study, including ocular signs and symptoms, and vital signs. While the most important time-point to measure IOP in this study and evaluate efficacy will be at the final study visit (month 3), IOP values will also be evaluated at other visits throughout the 3-month treatment period.

A single-center, single-blind, randomized study to investigate the effectiveness of a hemodynamic-guided treatment strategy to improve blood pressure control

A Randomized, Double-blinded, Multi-center, Phase III Study to Compare The Efficacy and Safety of Co-administered HGP0608, HGP0904 and HCP1306 versus HCP1701 in Patients with Hypertension and Dyslipidemia

The investigators planned a randomized controlled study to investigate the effects of adding yoga respiratory training to osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), and OMT alone on exhaled nitric oxide level and cardiopulmonary function in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Our hypothesis is that combined intervention including OMT and yoga respiratory training may improve exhaled nitric oxide level and cardiopulmonary function in patients with PAH.
