Phone coaching and home monitoring aim to tame high blood pressure in women after preeclampsia
NCT ID NCT07599579
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a mobile health program—combining home blood pressure monitoring with virtual coaching—can help midlife women control high blood pressure after having had a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (like preeclampsia). About 50 women who had such a pregnancy 10 to 20 years ago and now have stage 2 hypertension will be assigned to either the program or usual care. The main goal is to see if the program lowers systolic blood pressure more than standard care over three months.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Women who had a history of HDP (either gestational HTN or preeclampsia) diagnosed by ACOG guidelines at the time of delivery at Magee-Womens Hospital between 2008 and 2015, thus 10 to 20 years from their index pregnancy complicated by HDP. * Evidence of current stage 2 HTN (BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg with or without treatment with antihypertensive medication). Exclusion Criteria: * Known clinical CVD (prior myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, or peripheral arterial disease). * Males will also be excluded from this study as it focuses on pregnancy related conditions. * Children will be excluded as the study is only recruiting people who are 10-20 years postpartum.
