Nausea drug tested as clue to mysterious high blood pressure in diabetes
NCT ID NCT02811055
Summary
This small study aimed to understand if a specific brain chemical pathway contributes to high blood pressure in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers tested if a drug called aprepitant (normally used for nausea) could change levels of key hormones like aldosterone in five diabetic volunteers with a specific type of hard-to-treat high blood pressure. The goal was to gather knowledge about the disease's cause, not to provide a treatment.
