Testing how the body controls blood pressure and heart rate
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This early research trial looks at how your body’s automatic control system manages blood pressure and heart function. You may be asked to undergo tests to measure these responses, and the study aims to understand control of the circulation (blood flow).

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.
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 tests a device that monitors blood pressure continuously during surgery using a finger cuff, instead of the standard arm cuff that gives readings every few minutes. You may be able to join if you are having surgery and are at higher risk of complications during anesthesia.
This study measures how your blood pressure changes across the day in people at higher risk of heart and blood vessel disease. It may help researchers understand why blood pressure patterns vary, which could guide better prevention or care.
This observational study tests how well a wearable device (the Aktiia bracelet) measures blood pressure by comparing it to standard listening checks. It may help people understand how accurate home-style blood pressure readings can be in different health situations.
This trial tests a new wrist device that takes blood pressure readings regularly. The results are compared between when you first use it and a week later.
