Atmospheric pressure and hypertensive crisis study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether changes in atmospheric pressure (the weight of the air) are linked to very high blood pressure emergencies. You may be able to join if you come to the emergency room with a hypertensive crisis but without organ damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You do NOT have signs that the high blood pressure has caused damage to organs (like heart attack or stroke)

This study looks at what might cause a sudden, dangerous rise in blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension crisis). Knowing the risk factors could help doctors prevent these episodes.
This study tests new ways to help people with high blood pressure get better control of it. If you've visited an emergency room with high blood pressure readings, researchers want to help you manage it better with new support and follow-up care.
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 trial looks at a health-care plan for people with malignant hypertension (very high blood pressure causing emergency eye and organ damage). It may help doctors better organize treatment and follow-up after this high-risk diagnosis.
This study tests whether checking your blood pressure at home and sending readings to your care team can help manage high blood pressure after an emergency room visit. You would use a device to measure your blood pressure at home and may receive extra support.
