Active clinical trials for "Pre-Eclampsia"

Women with a history of preeclampsia (PE) have increased risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. Thus, PE is acknowledged as an independent risk factor for CVD, which is the number one cause of death in women in the western part of the world. Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate 1) the prevalence of CVD after PE, 2) which women have the highest risk of developing CVD, 3) when early stages of CVD can be detected in women with previous PE and 4) how CVD progress over time. Methods: 1000 women with previous PE between the age of 35-55 years will be invited to participate in a follow-up study consisting of anthropometric measurements, blood pressure measurement, urine- and blood samples, cardiac CT-scan and questionnaires. Coronary atherosclerosis will be evaluated using CT imaging.The women will be compared with women with a formerly uncomplicated pregnancy, Summary: The study will provide new important information to guide future clinical follow-up, and potentially prevent disease and early death in a large group of women with a history of PE.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the suitable infusion dose of norepinephrine for prophylaxis against postspinal anesthesia hypotension in parturients with preeclampsia undergoing cesarean section.

This is a randomized double blind placebo controlled trial comparing Nifedipine 30mg XL to placebo in 110 patients after decision has been made to proceed with induction of labor for the diagnosis of preeclampsia with severe features.

The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate cell-free RNA-based biomarkers for predicting a variety of adverse pregnancy outcomes in a pregnant person population. The main question it aims to answer are: Can cell-free RNA-based biomarkers predict which pregnant people are at greatest risk of developing adverse pregnancy outcomes (e.g., preterm birth, preeclampsia)? What is the performance of such biomarkers when predicting an adverse pregnancy outcome (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, TPR)?

Evaluation of practicability in survey and test procedures and of successful implementation of complex interventions - feasibility analysis based on a pilot study: Influence of conditional workout postpartum on arterial stiffness among women with status after preeclampsia, superimposed preeclampsia or HELLP-syndrome

Investigators will test a novel system of integrated care, to promote the use of the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION Guidelines for the management of pre-eclampsia and initiate the use of a structured risk assessment strategy to reduce the incidence of preterm delivery from pre-eclampsia by providing obstetricians with the confidence to safely defer delivery of women with pre-eclampsia, identified to be of low risk.

Randomized double-blind controled clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of L-arginine to prevent preeclampsia. applied to pregnant women with risk factors for preeclampsia. the main result was the development of preeclampsia as well as side effects to taking l arginine besides perinatal outcomes

A study of aspirin use in pregnancy to prevent high blood pressure and growth restriction of the fetus

Preeclampsia causes devastating maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality with a high recurrence risk and a rapid, occult progression to cardiovascular disease after delivery. There is a critical need for effective interventions to reduce these risks. This is a pilot randomized controlled trial of a novel postpartum lifestyle intervention compared to women who take home blood pressure measurements and women with usual care who are overweight and obese in the first year after preeclampsia. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will lead to improved weight loss and blood pressure in the first year postpartum, which has broad implications for future pregnancy and long-term cardiovascular health.
