About this study

This study will assess the comparative effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and sustainability of two telemonitoring interventions in reducing blood pressure and recurrent stroke among 450 high-risk Black and Hispanic stroke patients. The primary hypothesis is that home blood pressure telemonitoring supplemented with individualized, culturally tailored telephone-based nurse case management will have greater effects on blood pressure reduction and stroke recurrence and, while it will be more costly, it will also be more cost-effective than home blood pressure telemonitoring alone. Results of this study will provide strong empirical evidence to inform clinical guidelines and practice, which may lead to reductions in stroke disparities in the United States.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Home BP Telemonitoring (HBPTM)Behavioural

    Participants will take home BP readings 3 days per week (morning and evening), one week out of every month for 12 months. BP readings will be transmitted wirelessly to a secure server. Patients' physicians will receive home BP reports via secure email before every scheduled appointment for the duration of the study to facilitate necessary treatment intensification and medication adjustments.

  • Nurse Case Management (NCM)Behavioural

    Participants will complete 20 counseling phone calls with a nurse case manager (NCM) during the 12-month intervention: weekly calls for Months 1-2; biweekly calls for Months 3-4; and monthly calls for Months 5-12. The NCMs will provide self-management education, medication and appointment reminders, and will facilitate patient-provider communication. They will counsel patients on specific self-management behaviors using problem solving and motivational interviewing techniques. Target behaviors will include dietary changes, physical activity, weight loss, medication adherence, and smoking cessation. NCMs will also review patients' clinical information and provide feedback about abnormal lab results, and will communicate with the patient's physician as needed (e.g., regarding barriers).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Home BP Telemonitoring (HBPTM) and Nurse Case Management (NCM) in people with Stroke and Hypertension, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2022. 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 United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

12-month systolic blood pressure (SBP) change (time frame: Baseline, 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02011685, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 18 Feb 2022.
