Nurses' knowledge about blood pressure screening in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at what nurses know about checking for a sudden drop in blood pressure when older adults stand up, which can cause dizziness or falls. By understanding nurses' knowledge, the hospital hopes to improve care for elderly patients.

This study looks at blood pressure drops when standing up or after eating in adults 65 and older who are in the hospital. It aims to better understand these drops to improve care.
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 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 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 trial tests a new intelligent diagnostic system to help diagnose orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when standing up) in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or diabetes. It uses a non-invasive ultrasound device (TCD) to monitor blood flow in the brain.
