Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

The general objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a nutritional intervention with an extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) rich in bioactive compounds (polyphenols) and a functional oil of adequate organoleptic quality, prepared with the same EVOO rich in polyphenols and also enriched in triterpenic acid compounds from the olive itself, and demonstrate its antihypertensive and cardioprotective effect in children and adolescents (between 6-18 years) at risk of untreated hypertension.

To assess efficacy, and safety of a single sustained release dose of the OTX-TIC drug product (2 travoprost dose strengths) in subjects with Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG) or Ocular Hypertension (OHT)

Study KER-012-A201 is Phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to determine the efficacy and safety of KER-012 compared to Placebo in adults with PAH (WHO Group 1 PH) on stable background PAH therapy. The study is divided into the Screening Period, Treatment Period, Extension Period, and Follow-Up Period.

50 patients with verified new-onset Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension are randomly allocated to standard weight management (dietician counselling) or trial intervention consisting of subcutaneous injections with Semaglutide for 10 months combined, in the initial 8 weeks following diagnosis, with a Very Low Calorie-Diet (max 800 kcal/day)

This randomized, blinded, sham-control trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel focused power ultrasound mediated inferior perirenal adipose tissue modification therapy for essential hypertension.

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to learn about the effect of a hydrotherapeutic approach - a temperature-elevating armbath - in people with arterial hypertention. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Can this kind of hydrotherapy lower the blood pressure and therefore be an additional approach to medical treatment in arterial hypertension? Besides blood pressure regulation, does this intervention affect sleep quality when being performed at night time or does it affect overall quality of life? Participants will be advised to perform a temperature-elevating armbath once a day for 30 minutes on at least 5 days per week over 8 weeks. The comparison group will continue treatment as usual, like continue their medication. 24h blood pressure measurements will be performed at the beginning, after 8 weeks and after 6 months in both groups. The main goal is to evaluate whether the intervention group shows lower blood pressure levels after a certain time of treatment. After 6 months (end of trial) the control group will be offered to learn the temperature elevating armbath as well.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new combination of 3 (three) antihypertensive drugs in a single pill (candesartan cilexetil 16mg + chlorthalidone 12.5mg + amlodipine 5mg) compared with another combination of 3 (three) antihypertensive drugs (Exforge HCT® [valsartan 160mg + hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg + amlodipine 5mg]). This will be a non-inferiority trial and the primary outcome will be blood pressure control after 12 weeks of treatment.

The investigators have developed self-help booklets specifically for adults with PH who are experiencing difficulties with depression. The self-help booklets are based on a type of psychological treatment called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT for short. CBT looks at the way people think and what they do, and how this affects their mood. It involves making changes to thoughts and behaviours. CBT can help people develop more helpful ways of coping with depression. CBT is one of the most effective therapies for depression, this means it works well. There are four booklets that participants will work though weekly in their own time and at home. The aim of this study is to test whether the self-help booklets are helpful in reducing depression in people with pulmonary hypertension. Those taking part will be asked to complete a series of questions asking about themselves including whether they are experiencing any difficulties such as depression and anxiety. They will then be allocated at random to one of two groups. Group one will receive the self-help booklets, called the intervention group. Group two, or the wait list group, will receive the intervention at a later date if it is found to be helpful. Having two groups is very important as it will allow us to see whether benefits associated with taking part in the project was because of the self-help booklets or something else. Participants in group one will also be contacted partway through the intervention to ask about their experiences of taking part. Both groups will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires four weeks later and then again in one month. Participants in group one will be contacted again to find out more about their experiences of the project.

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the long-term use of TPIP in participants with PAH from studies INS1009-201 (NCT04791514), INS1009-202 (NCT05147805) and other lead-in studies of TPIP in participants with PAH.

There is a lack of effective treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated with pulmonary hypertension. Previous studies have found that inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) can reduce pulmonary artery pressure and improve exercise capacity in COPD with pulmonary hypertension patients. However, the specific mechanism is unclear. The study aims to evaluate pulmonary ventilation/perfusion, pulmonary artery pressure, oxygenation, symptoms and quality of life in COPD with pulmonary hypertension patients after short-term treatment with iNO. Observing a series of pathophysiological changes caused by the treatment of pulmonary hypertension with iNO in COPD, the investigators hope to provide new theoretical basis and research ideas.
