About this study

Official title: Research for the Effectiveness of Combined Dietary Education of Low Sodium and High Potassium Consumption

Reduction in sodium consumption is important approach in public health care. In general population, reduction of sodium intake can reduce the future development of hypertension and cardiovascular event. Meanwhile, enhancement of potassium consumption is also important to reduce blood pressure and cardiovascular events. We hypothesized that combined education of low sodium and high potassium consumption is more effective in reducing blood pressure compared to dietary education of low sodium consumption only.

The present survey study was designed to test the effectiveness of combined education of low sodium and high potassium consumption in blood pressure reduction and improvement of other variables.

Being tested
dietary education of low sodium and high potassium consumption, dietary education of low sodium consumption only

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. changes of 24-hour ambulatory systolic and diastolic blood pressure

    Effectiveness of combined dietary education of low sodium and high potassium consumption on changes of 24-hour ambulatory systolic and diastolic blood pressure, compared to dietary education of low sodium consumption only.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. changes of 24-hour urine sodium and potassium excretion

    Difference of changes of 24-hour urine sodium and potassium excretion by each dietary education

    Measured: 3 months

  2. changes of renin and aldosterone

    Difference in changes of renin and aldosterone by each dietary education

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dietary education of low sodium and high potassium consumption and dietary education of low sodium consumption only in people with Prehypertension and Hypertension, run by DongGuk University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

changes of 24-hour ambulatory systolic and diastolic blood pressure (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 May 2014.
