Blood pressure and heart rate study in healthy and hypertensive adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at how blood pressure and heart rate change when standing up or exercising in healthy people and in older adults with high blood pressure. It aims to understand how the body's automatic (autonomic) nervous system controls these functions.

This study looks at how blood pressure changes when older adults in the hospital stand up or eat, which can cause dizziness or falls. The goal is to better understand and manage these blood pressure drops.
This study checks how your body controls breathing and heart rate when you stand up, especially if you get dizzy from low blood pressure. It may help researchers understand what causes symptoms and how to improve testing for people with this condition.
This study tests a wristwatch-like device that tracks blood pressure and heart rate continuously without needles. It may help people with orthostatic intolerance, a condition where blood pressure drops when standing, causing dizziness or fainting.
This study looks at how well blood pressure is managed in people with hypertension. It may help find better ways to control blood pressure and reduce risks like heart attack or stroke.
This study collects health information to understand how well people with high blood pressure (who take blood pressure medicines) reach their blood pressure targets. It may help improve future guidance on blood pressure monitoring and control.
This study looks at how blood pressure is controlled in people with Parkinson's disease, especially those who feel dizzy when standing up. It may help doctors understand and treat this problem better.
