Short-term reproducibility of white-coat effect in adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how consistent the 'white-coat effect' (higher blood pressure in a doctor's office) is over a short time. It is for adults who are not on blood pressure medication and have no heart problems, to see if the effect repeats.

This trial checks if patients hospitalized for non-heart-related reasons have high blood pressure that went unnoticed. It may help find and manage high blood pressure early.
This study looks at how doctors treat high blood pressure in public health clinics. By reviewing medical records, researchers hope to understand what treatments are used and how well they work.
This study looks at better treatment for people whose blood pressure looks okay in the clinic, but stays high during daily life or at night. It uses 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (a test that checks readings throughout the day) to guide care and see if it helps control “masked uncontrolled” hypertension.
This study compares blood pressure readings taken at home, in the doctor's office, and over a full 24-hour period using a portable monitor. It may help understand the best way to track blood pressure in children and teens with slightly high blood pressure.
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 whether a home blood pressure–focused program helps improve blood pressure control in older adults. You may be asked to measure your blood pressure at home for at least several days and attend follow-up visits.
