Treat “hidden” high blood pressure using 24-hour monitoring
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at better treatment for people whose blood pressure looks okay in the clinic, but stays high during daily life or at night. It uses 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (a test that checks readings throughout the day) to guide care and see if it helps control “masked uncontrolled” hypertension.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 35 to 80, and you can provide informed consent
- Your clinic (office) blood pressure is below 140/90 while you’re being treated for hypertension
- Your 24-hour or daytime/night blood pressure readings are still higher than normal (based on the study thresholds)
- Your kidney function is adequate (eGFR is at least 45)
- You do not have serious kidney failure, unstable illness, or conditions that make treatment unsafe

This study compares blood pressure readings taken at home, in the doctor's office, and over a full 24-hour period using a portable monitor. It may help understand the best way to track blood pressure in children and teens with slightly high blood pressure.
This study tests a standardized plan for treating high blood pressure (hypertension). It's for people whose blood pressure is above 140/90 and who are either newly diagnosed or on only one medication, to see if following a consistent treatment approach helps lower blood pressure more effectively.
This study looks at how to manage high blood pressure specifically during sleep, aiming to lower the risk it can cause over time. It may help you if your blood pressure readings stay high at night even if you’re otherwise able to function normally.
This trial tests whether a home blood pressure–focused program helps improve blood pressure control in older adults. You may be asked to measure your blood pressure at home for at least several days and attend follow-up visits.
This study tests whether using a new wearable, cuffless blood pressure monitor (worn on the wrist or finger) to guide treatment can better control high blood pressure compared to usual office checkups. It may help you manage your pressure more conveniently and effectively.
This trial tests a computer program that helps doctors choose the most suitable blood pressure medicine for each person. If you have high blood pressure and are taking none or two types of medication, this study may help find a better treatment plan.
