Overview

The aim of the study is to examine the variation in blood pressure between an optimal measurement (according to established guidelines in the literature - per guidelines) and a 'common' measurement (used by nursing teams - per common practice) among women of reproductive age with and without hyperte

Description

Accurate blood pressure measurement is a cornerstone of the diagnosis and management of hypertension. The latest Clinical Practice Guidelines (AHA2020- International Society of Hypertension Global) emphasize several important steps for accurate blood pressure measurement, including choosing the correct cuff size, resting for five minutes, sitting with support for the back, feet flat on the floor, and legs uncrossed, and proper arm positioning (i.e., positioning the midpoint of the cuff at heart level with the arm supported on a table or work surface). Sitting measurements are preferred because of the large amount of data linking blood pressure measurements in this position to health outcomes.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women aged 18-40
  • Informed consent to participate.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inability to cooperate with BP measurement under optimal conditions
  • Women with complex underlying disease that may bias the data (e.g. significant vasculopathy)

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
