Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

The investigators will address the hypothesis that portal hypertension is mediated in part by bacterial or endotoxin translocation and the production of inflammatory mediators (tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), etc.). The investigators hypothesize that food supplementation with the probiotic product VSL#3 in patients with Child Pugh B/C cirrhosis will have a beneficial effect on in portal pressure (as measured by the HVPG) by reducing inflammatory mediators and improving systemic and splanchnic hemodynamics.

The purpose of the study is to determine the degree to which pharmacist-physician collaborative management (PPCM) of hypertension can be adopted and implemented in clinics with geographic and racial diversity and whether patients in clinics which implement PPCM achieve greater blood pressure control than patients in clinics which do not implement PPCM. Primary Hypothesis: BP control at 9 months will be significantly greater in patients from clinics randomized to the two PPCM BP intervention groups compared to the control group.

TEAMS-BP is a multicenter, participant-randomized controlled trial designed to compare the effectiveness of Intensive Tailored Telehealth Monitoring (ITTM) versus Intensive Clinic Management (ICM) on Blood Pressure (BP) control and patient activation for BP management following stroke

This research was conducted as a prospective, experimental and randomised controlled research to determine the effect of foot massage applied to pregnant women with hypertension on blood pressure and anxiety levels.

Causes' Fresh Produce Program (FPP) in Durham County has addressed barriers to food security related to transportation with an innovative delivery model, but lacks evidence regarding the impact of food supplementation on chronic diseases like hypertension, which is prevalent in historically excluded populations in Durham County. The goal of this research study is to determine the efficacy of the modified Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet in Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx participants with chronic hypertension who identify as food insecure using a randomized controlled trial. This research will leverage FPP's innovative distribution system to deliver medically-tailored produce bags and provide education workshops to the experimental participants relative to their experimental group. The study population group intends to include members of the Durham community and surrounding areas that identify as members of either the Black/African American or Hispanic/Latinx populations. Success will be measured in pre- and post-intervention biomarkers and qualitative participant experience data. Recognizing the risk of using Protected Health Information of Durham community members, many of whom are members of historically excluded populations that have been subjugated to harmful and extractive research practices, steps will be taken to ensure that collected information about research participants' personal and health information is protected and used only for the purposes of research. Ultimately, this research aims to work directly with the community to address hypertension outside of the clinic using food and education delivered directly to participants. The success of such an intervention could lead to expansion of delivering medically and culturally tailored foods to the larger FPP population and beyond.

World Health Organization, when systolic blood pressure is equal to or above 130 mm Hg and/or a diastolic blood pressure equal to or above 85 mm Hg , the blood pressure is considered to be raised or high is called hypertension." Most people with hypertension have no symptoms at all; this is why it is known as the "silent killer". More than 1 in 5 adults worldwide had raised blood pressure. There has been studies on strength exercise, severe aerobic exercise and other types of exercises and on their effects on blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation in other patient populations and on healthy individuals as well, but in the patients with hypertension no comparison has been made between mild and moderate aerobic exercise (tread mill) yet, stating which one is effective. Secondly, already present studies have shown long term effects mostly, not the comparative effects of mild and moderate exercises on blood pressure heart rate and oxygen saturation of patients with hypertension. These techniques are inexpensive, easy to perform and contain no known harmful effect. Hence, current study will undertake this task of finding out what are the comparative effects of mild and moderate aerobic on the BP, heart rate and oxygen saturation and secondly which technique is more effective. Study design will Randomized clinical trial with non-probability convenient sampling. It will be single blinded study with blinding of assessor. Sample size was calculated from Epitools website and will be 28. There will be two groups which will be randomly assigned 14 people using lottery method. Data will be collected from community dwelling areas of Lahore Patients with hypertension with Systolic Blood Pressure 130 - 159 mmHg and Diastolic Blood Pressure 85 - 99 mmHg (pre hypertensive and stage 1), 30 to 50 years of age, patients who have taken any antihypertensive medicine in more than 6 hours and both males and females will be recruited. Tools will be aneroid sphygmomanometer for measuring blood pressure and pulse oximeter for measuring oxygen saturation and heart rate and Post interventional BP, heart rate readings and oxygen saturation will be taken for both groups on the same day. Post intervention blood pressure, Heart rate and oxygen saturation will be taken after 5 minutes.

Hypertension is a major cause of death worldwide. Patients should adjust their lifestyle and learn how to maintain a balance between self-management of a disease and their daily livelihood. Knowledge is networked, mobile devices can be used as a way of health education. The purpose of this study is to evaluation the effectiveness of the disease self-management program through a mobile applications for patients with hypertension. Statistical analyses was used analysis of covariance for checking the effect of interventions. Through the calculation by a statistical power analysis formula, the study takes 70 samples and divides them into a control group (usual care) and an experimental group (disease self-management program through a mobile applications) by the single blind randomized controlled trial, whereby each groups has 35 samples. The first step investigate the physiological indicators, mental health, self-management, quality of life of the patients. For the experimental group, after the pre-test the study set up a health guide for the disease self-management program with a mobile applications. The experimental group received the mobile apps educational program for at least 30 minutes each session and at least once every two days. After two weeks and six weeks, a follow-up telephone interview helped to strengthen the health self-management self-confidence. The effect of interventions was then evaluated after three months when the patients returned. Therefore, the self-management of a disease can be improved and patients will learn to live in harmony with hypertension by improving their mental health, self-management, and quality of life.

Background:Health professionals are responsible for the education of hypertension patients. Aim:The aim of this research is to see how self-efficacy support affects hypertension patients' medication adherence and self-efficacy levels. Methods: This research is randomized controlled interventional research. The research is conducted inTurkey June-December2021.The research sample included 63hypertension patients who met the research's research requirements.According to the sequence of the arrival at the hospital, data were separated into groups with odd(intervention group)and double(control group)numbers.The necessary forms for both groups' pre-test data were filled out face-to-face. The intervention group received hands-on blood pressure measurement training with the "Hypertension Training Manual",including how to self-measure blood pressure.Over the course of the research, patients were asked to check their blood pressure twice a day at home and record the results.The patients in the intervention group were reminded of their blood pressure measurement three times a week by SMStechnique for three months to avoid forgetting it.Three months later, the same forms for the post-test data of both groups were filled out with an online survey method.The data were evaluated using the single-blind study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate pharmacokinetic interactions (Drug-Drug interaction) and safety between "BR1015-1" and "BR1015-2" in healthy volunteers.

This study was planned as randomized controlled trial in order to evaluate the effect of the mobile education given to the individuals with hypertension on DASH diet compliance, healthy lifestyle behaviours, quality of life, mindfulness and stress levels. The study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial with 134 individuals with hypertension (68 experimental, 66 controlled) who applied a university hospital in Edirne between the dates on 20.01.2022 and 18.05.2023. The data were collected by "Patient Information Form", "Healthy Lifestyle Behaviour Scale II", "EQ-5D General Quality of Life Scale", "Mindful Attention Awareness Scale" and "Percieved Stress Scale" were used. An education application was installed on the mobile phones of the experimental group. Individuals with hypertension were provided with a training for three months through the mobile application. Data collection forms were filled in by the individuals with hypertension in the experimental and controlled groups at the beginning and at the 3rd month via the mobile application. The data were analyzed in SPSS 26 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) program with the Shapiro-Wilk test, Student's t-test, Paired-Sample t-test, Chi-Square test, Fisher's Exact test, Fisher-Freeman-Halton test and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results were evaluated at % 95 confidence interval and the significance was evaluated at p<0,05 level.
