Study folate in pregnancies with high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how a vitamin called tetrahydrofolate may affect pregnancies with preeclampsia or increased risk of high blood pressure. Participants may receive the supplement to help researchers understand key biology and potential benefits or harms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how the body supports pregnancy in the early weeks and whether problems with that support can lead to complications. By tracking pregnancies from the start, researchers hope to find ways to predict and prevent issues like poor placental function.
This study compares two types of prenatal supplements: a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement (includes extra nutrients) versus the standard iron and folic acid. It aims to see which one women prefer and how well they accept it during early pregnancy.
This trial studies ways to lower the risk of pre-eclampsia (dangerous high blood pressure in pregnancy) in women who are having a first pregnancy through IVF/ICSI or who have PCOS. It’s aimed at people considered higher risk for pre-eclampsia.
This study compares different doses of folic acid (a B vitamin important for preventing birth defects) for women who are planning to become pregnant. It aims to find the most effective dose to support a healthy pregnancy.
This study tests whether taking a probiotic supplement during pregnancy can help prevent complications in women at risk for preeclampsia. You would take a daily probiotic or placebo pill from about 20 weeks until delivery.
This trial studies whether using specific blood-pressure medicines can help people with non-severe preeclampsia stay pregnant longer. It aims to improve outcomes by treating blood pressure early while monitoring you and the baby closely.
