About this study

Official title: Changes in Central Arterial Pressure When Comparing Nifedipine and Labetalol for Routine Hypertension Control in Pregnancy

To study central blood pressure changes caused by commonly used high blood pressure medications in pregnancy.

Read the detailed description

Central blood pressures in addition to pulse wave velocity will be attained prior to medication, and then every 30 minutes for 4 hours (total of 9 readings). Sphygmomanometer readings will be completed at the same time (total readings 9). These readings are all related to the study.

Nursing will have the opportunity to to record the routine sphygmomanometer readings for their routine vitals if they chose to do so.

Their participation will be complete after the 4 hour assessment is complete.

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?

central blood pressure changes (time frame: every 30 min for 4 hours). 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.
