Blood Pressure Control: Sex Differences in Healthy Adults
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how the nervous system controls blood pressure differently in men and women. It involves a single visit where you'll receive a small dose of medications through an IV and have your nerve activity and blood pressure measured.

This early study tests how your body’s blood vessels respond when oxygen levels are lower, and whether body weight changes that response. You may be able to join if you’re not pregnant and meet health, blood pressure, and breathing/smoking criteria.
This study looks at how blood vessels react to nerve signals during menopause. It may help explain why heart health changes after menopause.
This study looks at how the body automatically regulates blood pressure in women who went through menopause earlier than expected. It may help researchers understand whether early menopause affects blood pressure control and related health risks.
This study looks at how blood vessels in the brain change as women age. It may help understand why some women have higher risk for certain health problems later in life.
This study looks at how the nervous system controls blood pressure differently in men and women. It may help researchers understand why some heart conditions affect men and women differently.
This study looks at sexual dysfunction (sexual problems) in women who are being treated for high blood pressure. It may help researchers understand what causes these issues and what could improve them.
