Blood pressure drugs linked to falls? new trial seeks answers

NCT ID NCT07099677

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether three common blood pressure medications (beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers) affect balance and fall risk in adults newly diagnosed with high blood pressure. About 186 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three drugs and tested at the start, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks. The goal is to see if any drug class increases fall risk, which could help doctors choose safer treatments.
