NCT ID NCT07432126
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether trained female community health volunteers can help people in Nepal better manage high blood pressure and diabetes. The health workers will lead group meetings, provide health education, and coordinate care with local clinics. About 398 adults with both conditions will take part, and the study will measure changes in blood pressure and blood sugar after 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
community health worker-led group care program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a low-cost, community-based model to improve blood pressure and blood sugar control in low-resource settings.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (398 participants) in one country, so results may not apply elsewhere. The intervention relies on volunteer health workers, which may be hard to sustain long-term.
