What the study statuses mean

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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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
Cancelled before anyone took 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 low-sodium diet can improve blood pressure control in people who had a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. Participants receive either a provided diet with less than 2000 mg of sodium per day or a standard diet with no salt restrictions for the first week after delivery. The study measures blood pressure on days 3 and 7, and tracks hospital readmissions within 30 days. The goal is to see if a simple dietary change can reduce the risks associated with postpartum hypertension.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A provided low-sodium diet (less than 2000 mg of sodium per day) for 7 days after delivery
What this could lead to
If effective, this diet could become a simple, drug-free way to lower blood pressure after childbirth and reduce hospital readmissions for hypertension.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and the diet is only provided for one week. The effect on long-term blood pressure or readmissions may be limited, and adherence to the diet could be challenging.
