Blood pressure changes in hospitalized older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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 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 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.
This study looks at how measuring blood pressure and oxygen levels in the brain may help predict falls in older adults. If you have fallen before, your participation could help doctors find better ways to prevent future falls.
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 measures how your blood pressure affects thinking skills and how blood flows in the brain in people with Parkinson’s. It may help researchers understand what blood-pressure changes could mean for cognition in Parkinson’s.
This study asks nurses about what they know regarding screening for orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up) in elderly patients. It aims to improve care by identifying knowledge gaps.
