Study of blood pressure changes when standing up
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks how your blood pressure changes when you go from lying down to standing. It may help researchers understand why some people get “orthostatic hypertension” (higher blood pressure when standing) and how that reflex works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older and able to give consent
- Be fluent in English (spoken and written)
- Not be pregnant or nursing
- Do not currently smoke and do not have a history of blood clots
- Have no serious chronic illnesses (heart, lung, neuromuscular disease, cancer, etc.) beyond possibly stage 1 hypertension
- Your standing blood pressure must match the study’s pattern (either higher than lying by at least 10, or about the same within 5)

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.
This trial looks at how blood pressure and heart rate change when standing up or exercising in healthy people and in older adults with high blood pressure. It aims to understand how the body's automatic (autonomic) nervous system controls these functions.
This study tests a new approach to help people who feel dizzy or faint when standing up, especially if standard treatments haven't worked. It aims to improve daily life and reduce risks from low blood pressure.
This study checks how your body controls breathing and heart rate when you stand up, especially if you get dizzy from low blood pressure. It may help researchers understand what causes symptoms and how to improve testing for people with this condition.
This study uses an accelerometer (a wearable motion sensor) to measure symptoms and blood pressure changes when you stand up. It may help doctors better track how neurogenic orthostatic hypotension affects you and how well current treatments are working.
This study looks at blood pressure drops when standing up or after eating in adults 65 and older who are in the hospital. It aims to better understand these drops to improve care.
