This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial tests whether a personalized health program delivered through a WeChat mini-program and community health workers can lower blood pressure in adults at high risk of developing hypertension. Researchers will enroll 500 adults aged 35 to 65 in Beijing who have a predicted hypertension risk above 20% but do not yet have the condition. Participants in the intervention group receive tailored education, behavioral goal setting, and tools like salt-restriction spoons, while the control group gets standard health education. The main goal is to see if the program reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to usual care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A personalized health management program delivered through a WeChat mini-program and community healthcare providers, including health education, behavioral goal setting, and blood pressure monitoring guidance.
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a scalable, low-cost way to prevent hypertension in high-risk adults, potentially reducing future heart disease and stroke.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and community-based, so results may not apply broadly. Success depends on participants sticking with the program, and blood pressure changes may be modest.
