Phone-Based health coaches take on high blood pressure in major new trial
NCT ID NCT07461415
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether coaching and support from community health workers, delivered by phone or video, can help people with dangerously high blood pressure avoid serious heart problems. Over 3,600 adults who came to the emergency room with very high blood pressure will be randomly assigned to either receive this coaching or to usual care. The goal is to see if the coaching group has fewer heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure hospitalizations over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
behavioral intervention: coaching and navigation by community health workers via telehealth
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, scalable way to help people with severe hypertension lower their risk of heart attacks and strokes.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, so results depend on participant engagement. The trial is large but still early in testing this specific approach.
