NCT ID NCT05297708

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether home blood pressure readings can correctly identify different types of high blood pressure (like masked or white coat hypertension) in children aged 6 to 18. Researchers will compare home measurements to 24-hour ambulatory monitors in 52 kids referred for elevated blood pressure. The goal is to see if home monitoring is accurate enough to use in routine care.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that home blood pressure monitoring is a reliable alternative to 24-hour monitors for diagnosing hypertension in children, simplifying care.

What could go wrong

This is a small observational study (52 participants) that only measures accuracy, not treatment outcomes. Results may not apply to all children or lead to immediate changes in practice.
