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.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

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.

Summary

This study tested whether having patients with uncontrolled high blood pressure monitor their own blood pressure at home could help lower it. 70 adults with hypertension were split into two groups: one group used a home monitor for 5 days each month, while the other group did not. Researchers tracked changes in blood pressure over time to see if home monitoring made a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Home blood pressure monitoring (procedure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that regular home blood pressure checks help patients and doctors better manage hypertension, leading to lower blood pressure and reduced health risks.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 70 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and home monitoring alone may not be enough to control blood pressure without medication adjustments.
