Blood Pressure Measurement clinical trials

Implementation Strategies for Self-Measured Blood Pressure Monitoring in Racially and Ethnically Diverse Populations

Testing a new blood pressure monitor

This study is testing a new electronic blood pressure monitor (CONTEC08C) to see how accurate it is. It is for people aged 12 to 79 who do not have heart rhythm problems, arm injuries, or other conditions that might interfere with the measurement.

Checking blood pressure with a smartphone app

This trial tests whether a smartphone app can accurately measure your blood pressure without a cuff. It may help find people with high blood pressure early using only a phone.

Female hormones and brain blood flow during MRI

This study checks how female hormones may change blood flow in the brain. You may be asked to undergo an MRI scan while hormone levels are assessed.

Blood pressure study for newborns and children

This study tests a new non-invasive blood pressure device in babies, children, and teens. It compares the device's readings to those from an arterial line, which is already in place for their medical care. The goal is to see if the device can measure blood pressure accurately without needles.

Testing a new blood pressure patch without a cuff

This study tests a wearable patch that measures blood pressure without needing an inflatable arm cuff. It could make monitoring easier and more comfortable.

Blood pressure measurement and hypotension risk during surgery

This trial tests if noninvasive blood pressure cuff measurements before surgery can help predict low blood pressure during surgery for people having non-cardiac surgery.

Blood pressure measurement differences in women of reproductive age

This study compares two ways of measuring blood pressure in women ages 18-40—one done exactly by guidelines and one done as usual in clinics. The goal is to see if the regular way gives different readings, which could affect diagnosis and treatment.

Camera-based blood pressure monitoring study

This study tests a new way to measure blood pressure using a camera, without needing a cuff. It may make checking blood pressure easier and more comfortable.

Testing a noninvasive blood pressure monitor during surgery

This study tests a new device that measures blood pressure continuously without needing a needle in your artery. If you are having surgery and already need an arterial line, this device might offer a less invasive way to track your blood pressure during the procedure.

Breathing exercises for healthy blood pressure during pregnancy

This trial tests whether a simple breathing exercise device can help keep your blood pressure healthy during pregnancy. You will use a small device 5-7 days a week and sync measurements with your smartphone.

Blood Pressure Measurement Accuracy Study

This study tests how accurately a non-invasive blood pressure device measures your pressure compared to a direct measurement from an arterial line (a thin tube in an artery that directly measures pressure). You'll need to be in a hospital or intensive care setting where you already have an arterial line as part of your standard care.

Comparing blood pressure at arm vs ankle during planned cesarean

This study compares blood pressure measurements taken at the ankle versus the arm during planned cesarean delivery. It helps doctors find a reliable way to monitor your blood pressure during surgery when the arm cuff may not work well.

Intensive blood pressure lowering after stroke

This Phase 2 study tests whether aiming for a lower blood pressure targets after a stroke reduces the risk of future problems. You may be asked to measure your blood pressure at home and follow the study’s treatment plan.

Testing a cuff-less wrist monitor versus a regular blood pressure cuff

This study compares a cuff-less wrist blood pressure device to the usual arm cuff. You may be able to help test whether the wrist device reads blood pressure accurately and safely.

Aging, blood changes, and health in older adults

This study examines why some older adults develop changes in their blood cells that may affect their health. Researchers will look for links between these blood changes, aging, and common health problems in older people.

Blood pressure cuff accuracy study for adults

This study tests how well a new blood pressure cuff measures blood pressure compared to a standard arterial line. If you already have an arterial line as part of your care, you may be able to help us see if the cuff is accurate.

Study blood pressure swings after stroke or TIA

This trial studies changes (“swings”) in blood pressure in people who recently had an ischemic stroke or a TIA. It may help doctors understand how blood pressure fluctuations affect recovery, even when you do not have known hypertension.

Smartphone blood pressure monitor tested for people with high BP

This study compares an optical blood pressure monitor (used like a home device with a smartphone) against standard home blood pressure readings. It’s meant to see if the new device gives accurate results for people with high blood pressure who are not currently on blood pressure medicines.

Blood pressure control during breast cancer chemo

This study tests whether careful blood pressure management can help protect the heart during certain types of chemotherapy (anthracyclines) for breast cancer. Participants will use a smart blood pressure device and may also do an exercise test.

Testing a new blood pressure measurement method in pregnant patients

This study is testing a new way to measure blood pressure on your forearm and upper arm. It aims to see if this method works well for pregnant patients, especially those with high blood pressure conditions.

Validation study of a wearable cuffless blood pressure monitor

This study tests a new wearable device that measures blood pressure without a cuff. You might be able to join if you are generally healthy, not pregnant, and have no serious heart or kidney problems.

Wearable blood pressure monitoring study for Boston adults

This study tests a wearable device that tracks your blood pressure throughout the day while you go about your normal routine. If you live in the Boston area and are willing to wear the device, you may help improve how blood pressure is measured outside the doctor's office.

Blood pressure monitoring for early heart risk awareness

This study is testing whether a blood pressure monitoring system called Aktiia can help people become aware of high blood pressure early and predict heart risks. It involves using a smartphone and a wrist bracelet (or just the phone's camera) to take blood pressure readings.
