Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial compares two types of progestin-only birth control pills to see which one helps control blood pressure better after childbirth for women who had preeclampsia. If you are eligible, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the two pills and your blood pressure will be monitored at home to see how well it is managed.
This trial compares two medications, dexamethasone (a steroid) and ondansetron (an anti-nausea drug), to see which better prevents low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia during a cesarean section in women with preeclampsia. It aims to find a safer way to keep blood pressure stable during delivery.
This trial tests a program that lets you monitor your blood pressure at home after childbirth and learn about heart health. It's for women who had high blood pressure for the first time during pregnancy and are in the Ochsner system.
This study tests if a medication called a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) can help improve heart function in women who had preeclampsia and now have high blood pressure and signs of heart thickening.
This study tests whether spironolactone, a water pill that helps the heart and blood vessels, can improve symptoms in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition of high blood pressure in the lungs. It's a phase 2 trial, meaning it's early but may offer a new treatment option.
