NCT ID NCT06628648
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study from Tunisia looked at 120 people with high blood pressure who were scheduled for minor abdominal surgery. Researchers checked their blood pressure on the day of surgery and noted how often it was high enough to cancel the procedure. They also measured anxiety levels to see if stress played a role. The goal was to understand why some surgeries get postponed due to hypertension.
