Hypertension Paid Clinical Trials in Texas

The purpose of this study is observe outcomes before and after a change in clinical practice in the threshold for management of severe hypertension in pregnancy and the post-partum period. Outcomes will be observed for 10 months under the current (traditional) clinical blood pressure threshold for acute treatment of hypertension, which is >= 160 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) systolic blood pressure (SBP). This will be followed by one month of education about rationale for the new SBP threshold of >= 180 mmHg and change of clinical guidelines. Then, there will be 10 months of observation after adopting the updated clinical threshold for acute antihypertensive treatment (>= 180 SBP). Read Less

The PCOT study is a multi-site randomized trial of patients 70 years or older with high BP. The main goal of the study Preventing Cognitive Decline by Reducing BP Target Trial (PCOT) is to conduct a large pragmatic clinical trial (PCT) to test the hypothesis that patients who receive care with a combination of clinical decision support (CDS) and team-based care delivered in primary care practices will have better blood pressure control and a lower incidence of mild cognitive impairment and dementia than patients receiving usual medical care. Patients will be recruited from UT Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Health & Hospital System. Read Less

The investigators' central hypothesis is that early combination therapy with two PAH-specific oral therapies that have been shown to be well tolerated in the pediatric population, sildenafil and bosentan, will result in better World Health Organization (WHO) functional class at 12 months after initiation of PAH treatment than therapy with sildenafil alone.

The objective of this project is to elucidate the effect of L-Citrulline (L-CIT) supplementation on vascular function at rest and during rhythmic handgrip exercise and functional sympatholysis via lower-body negative pressure in postmenopausal women with elevated blood pressure and hypertension.

There is strong evidence suggesting that endoplasmic reticulum stress contributes to neurogenic and vascular hypertension in various animal models, however this has never been explored in humans. Therefore, this project will fill this gap by performing a single-blind, placebo-controlled trial in humans with hypertension. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to understand how the nervous system communicates to blood vessels to increase blood pressure during stress. The study will also investigate how hypertension and obesity influence the nervous system and vascular function. The study will involve measuring sympathetic nervous system activity and blood flow during common laboratory physiological stress protocols (e.g. hypoxia, exercise), and in response to infusion of drugs that cause vasodilation or vasoconstriction.

This randomized, single-masked, crossover, non-inferiority trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Nanodropper-mediated microdrops of ocular hypotensive topical treatments (experimental intervention) compared to standard drops of the same medication(s) (active comparator) in Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center (WHASC) primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHTN) patients.

Determine the presence of the human sequence of Angiotensin-(1-12) in plasma of ten untreated hypertensive subjects and after 4 week with Lisinopril 40 mg every day. Determine the blood pressure reduction with Lisinopril 40mg. Read Less

This is a randomized, double-blind, two-treatment, single-period, parallel design, multiple dose at multiple clinical trial sites designed to demonstrate bioequivalence with clinical endpoint in subjects with chronic open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension in both eyes. Test Product - Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution, 0.01% of Amneal EU, Limited Reference Product - LUMIGAN® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.01% of Allergan, Inc. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a multi-gene panel to determine which subjects are likely to respond to renal denervation therapy with Medtronic's Symplicity Spyral™ multi-electrode renal denervation system. Read Less
