Blood pressure meds and pneumonia risk after stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain blood pressure medicines (ACE inhibitors or ARBs) affect the risk of pneumonia after a stroke. It uses medical records to compare outcomes in people with both stroke and high blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with both a stroke and high blood pressure.
- You are 18 years old or older.

This Phase 2 study tests whether aiming for a lower blood pressure targets after a stroke reduces the risk of future problems. You may be asked to measure your blood pressure at home and follow the study’s treatment plan.
This trial tests how managing high blood pressure during clot-dissolving treatment for acute ischemic stroke affects recovery. It is for patients who have high blood pressure at the start of treatment.
This trial tests a strategy for managing high blood pressure in people having an acute ischemic stroke who are about to receive clot-busting medication. It aims to see if carefully lowering blood pressure within a specific range improves outcomes.
This trial tests whether carefully lowering blood pressure after a mechanical clot removal procedure for stroke can improve outcomes. If you've had a large vessel stroke that was successfully treated with thrombectomy, this study will help guide blood pressure management in the recovery period.
This study looks at how oral health affects the chances of developing pneumonia after a stroke and how well people recover their ability to swallow. It may help find ways to prevent complications and improve recovery for stroke survivors with swallowing problems.
This trial tests a special suction tube with a viewing scope to gently clean the throat and prevent pneumonia in patients who recently had a stroke. The goal is to reduce serious lung infections in people who cannot be on a breathing machine.
