Trial summary

The Hypertension Canada Clinical Practice Guidelines for blood pressure measurement using AOBP recommend against any wait time prior to commencing the measurement. The recent AHA guidelines however call for a 5-minute rest first. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Zero to Five Automated Oscillometric Office Blood Pressure (AOBP) Measurement: the Impact of a 5 Minute Rest Time on AOBP Measurement

The Hypertension Canada Clinical Practice Guidelines for blood pressure measurement using AOBP recommend against any wait time prior to commencing the measurement. The recent AHA guidelines however call for a 5-minute rest first. In uncontrolled hypertension, AOBP is typically higher than the daytime readings from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), but this is not the case for patients with controlled hypertension.

Read the detailed description

Objective:

Does a 5 minute rest or no rest before measurement using AOBP provide the most accurate reading in patients with controlled and uncontrolled hypertension, and in patients with white coat hypertension compared to daytime ABPM?

Implications:

Through this study, we hope to:

(i) Advance the understanding of the role of AOBP in measuring blood pressure. (ii) Determine whether a 5-minute rest, or no rest at all is needed prior to AOBP measurement.

(iii) Assess the relationship of AOBP to daytime ABPM for patient with controlled and uncontrolled hypertension and in patients with white coat hypertension.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Zero to Five Automated Oscillometric Office Blood Pressure (AOBP) Measurement in people with Hypertension and Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 9 Sep 2020. 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 Canada. 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?

Difference in systolic and diastolic BP in patients randomized to zero or five minutes wait before the AOBP measurement. (time frame: 4 months - 1 yr). 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 NCT03732924, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Sep 2020.
