Hypertension Paid Clinical Trials in Kansas

Study KER-012-A201 is Phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to determine the efficacy and safety of KER-012 compared to Placebo in adults with PAH (WHO Group 1 PH) on stable background PAH therapy. The study is divided into the Screening Period, Treatment Period, Extension Period, and Follow-Up Period. Read Less

The main purpose of research is to examine and understanding the development of hypertension in obese adults with insulin resistance. Findings from our studies will identify unique mechanisms that can be targeted to limit increases in vascular dysfunction and reduce the excessively high prevalence of hypertension and risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study is testing the health of the blood vessels and the activity of the nerves that control the blood vessels in adults with insulin resistance. The extent to which ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) improves the function of the blood vessels will be determined. The primary outcome is blood pressure, which is the result of blood vessel health and activity of the nerves, and the reduction in blood pressure that is observed with ascorbic acid. Read Less

Slow deep breathing actives the vagal nerve and leads to a natural reduction in physiological parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate and digestion. The effects of these techniques have not been assessed in pregnancy. The primary objective is to assess the effects of various yogic deep breathing techniques on blood pressure during pregnancy. The breathing exercises will include Alternate nostril breathing, Bhramari breathing, and Sheetali breathing. A secondary objective will be to assess the effects of these breathing exercises on other physiological parameters including heart rate, heart rate variability, body temperature, cardiac output, vascular resistance and respiratory rate.

This is a randomized, controlled, pragmatic trial designed as a "type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial" that tests a hypertension program integrating a virtual Collaborative Care Clinic (vCCC), home blood pressure monitoring, and telehealth for lowering blood pressure (BP) in two health systems.

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the effects of RT234 on exercise parameters assessed by a specialized exercise test (Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test or CPET) in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Read Less

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the usefulness of hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe gas MRI for regional assessment of pulmonary function. Read Less

In this study, hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI will be used to evaluate treatment efficacy in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Participants will be imaged at 4 timepoints (baseline, 6 weeks post-therapy initiation, 12 weeks, and 18 weeks). Images will be analyzed to develop new biomarkers and to understand treatment effects.

The purpose of our study is to understand the extent to which the blood vessels are affected by glucose and fat (lipids) in lean healthy adults and if these changes in the blood vessels contribute to the development of high blood pressure. Read Less

The purpose of this study (PASSION study) is to monitor symptoms of chronic pain before and after 2 weeks of a standard drug commonly used to treat elevated blood pressure compared with 2 weeks of placebo (crossover design) so that we may better understand how blood pressure affects your level of pain. This study is not testing an experimental drug. Read Less

Establish a pulmonary hypertension registry and biorepository to lead towards a further understanding of the disease. Read Less

The purpose of the ESCAPE Study is to determine the extent to which epidural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) reduces arterial blood pressure (BP) in patients which chronic low back pain and hypertension. We also aim to determine the extent to which higher baseline BP (i.e., hypertension) predicts reductions in pain following SCS implant. This is an observational study of patients undergoing an implantation of a SCS device. Read Less

The PHA Registry (PHAR) is a national study about people who have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). PHAR collects information from people with PAH and CTEPH who are cared for in participating PHA-accredited Pulmonary Hypertension Care Centers throughout the U.S. PHAR will determine how people with PAH and CTEPH are evaluated, tested, and treated, and will observe how well these participants do. The goal is to see if people with PH are treated according to recommended guidelines, and to see if there are certain factors that can lead to better or worse outcomes. PHAR will include information about people with PAH and CTEPH in the U.S. who are seen at participating PHA-accredited PH Care Centers. PHAR contains data about patient care and outcomes. Specifically, data in the PHAR includes information on diagnosis; clinical status; socioeconomic status; diagnosis test results; body size; treatment information; interest in participating in clinical trials; family health and social history; and information about smoking, alcohol, or drug use. Participants are followed over time, and provide updates such as changes in therapy, how often participants need to go to the hospital, and survival. Such information may help healthcare providers provide better care. Read Less
