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 tests a new combination birth control pill to see how it affects blood vessel and heart health in women aged 18–49. Researchers want to understand if this pill is safe and effective compared to standard options.
This study compares two types of progestin-only birth control pills (drospirenone and norethindrone) to see which one helps control blood pressure better after giving birth in people with preeclampsia. If you are at Oregon Health & Science University and planning to use a mini-pill for contraception, this trial may help your care team choose the best option for you.
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 looks at how genes affect the way the body processes birth control pills. You take a low-dose pill for one cycle and have blood draws to measure hormone levels.
This study looks at how the nervous system controls blood pressure differently in men and women. It involves a single visit where you'll receive a small dose of medications through an IV and have your nerve activity and blood pressure measured.
