Phone calls from nurses aim to tame high blood pressure in women

NCT ID NCT03963934

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

Summary

This study tested whether a 6-month program of nurse-led phone calls could help women with uncontrolled high blood pressure take their medication as prescribed. The program included 7 phone calls to address barriers to medication adherence. Only 14 women enrolled before the study was terminated early, so the results are not conclusive.

Active substance

nurse-led telephone follow-up program

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that personalized phone support helps women with high blood pressure stick to their medication and lower their blood pressure.

What could go wrong

This was a very small feasibility study that was terminated early, so results are limited. It is not a treatment itself and may not work in larger, more diverse groups.
