Nurses' knowledge of orthostatic hypotension screening in older patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.

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 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 Phase 2 study tests whether the medicines droxidopa and pyridostigmine can improve symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, which is low blood pressure when you stand up. It is designed for people whose low blood pressure is caused by problems with the nerves that control blood pressure.
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 is testing a smart computer system that helps doctors diagnose orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing) more accurately. If you have Parkinson's, MSA, or diabetes and feel dizzy when standing, this might help you get a clearer diagnosis.
