Beetroot juice for preeclampsia during pregnancy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether drinking beetroot juice can help lower blood pressure in pregnant women with preeclampsia. Beetroot juice is rich in nitrates, which may improve blood flow.

This study looks at blood-flow and artery health signs during pregnancy to better understand why preeclampsia happens. It compares women with preeclampsia to women with an uncomplicated pregnancy, and may help improve early detection and care.
This study measures blood vessel–related markers in pregnant people who already have high blood pressure or early preeclampsia. The goal is to predict who is more likely to get worse, so care can be better targeted.
This trial tests if a nitrate supplement (similar to beetroot) can help control chronic high blood pressure in early pregnancy. It is for women already taking methyldopa and enrolled before 16 weeks.
This study tests whether taking a low-dose aspirin every day can help improve blood vessel health in people who had preeclampsia within the past 5 years. The goal is to see if aspirin can lower the risk of future heart problems.
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.
This study looks at what causes preeclampsia, a condition with high blood pressure and protein in the urine during pregnancy. It may help researchers understand why some women get it, so they can find better ways to prevent or treat it.
