How sex affects blood pressure control
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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 trial tests whether treating sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea) can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. You may join if you have high blood pressure and haven't been diagnosed with a sleep disorder before.
This study tests whether a simple heart-rate measurement can help detect obstructive sleep apnea (a breathing condition during sleep) in people with high blood pressure. The goal is to find an easier way to screen for sleep apnea, which often goes undiagnosed but can worsen heart health.
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your heart and blood vessels over time. It uses a sleep study and heart tests to see if certain measurements can predict heart health changes.
This study looks at people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to understand how inflammation and breathing disruption may affect future heart and metabolism risk. It may help explain why some people develop higher risk even with milder sleep apnea.
This study keeps a record of people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who also have high blood pressure, to better understand how CPAP is used and what outcomes happen. It may help your care team by contributing your information to a large multi-center study in China.
This study looks at how restricting sleep affects blood pressure in young adults. It is especially interested in people whose parents have high blood pressure, to understand if family history plays a role.
