Pharmacists take on high blood pressure: home monitoring trial for women
NCT ID NCT05991414
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving women a home blood pressure monitor plus regular pharmacist follow-up helps lower blood pressure better than usual care. 368 women with high blood pressure will be randomly assigned to either the home monitoring program or standard care. The pharmacist reviews readings monthly and sends suggestions to the doctor. The goal is to see if this team-based approach leads to better blood pressure control.
