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 how two different birth control pills (estetrol-drospirenone vs. standard) affect the health of your blood vessels. It may help you understand the best option for your heart and circulation while on the pill.
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 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 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.
