Can lowering blood pressure protect your brain from damage?
NCT ID NCT02472028
Summary
This study is testing whether aggressively lowering blood pressure can slow the progression of white matter lesions (brain damage seen on MRI) in older adults who have memory complaints. It will enroll 820 participants aged 60-88 with high blood pressure and moderate brain changes. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a reinforced blood pressure control strategy or usual care and followed for about 3 years to see if the stricter control helps protect the brain.
