About this study

Official title: A Cluster Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Group Education on Smoking Cessation and Blood Pressure in Smoking Elderly Males With Stage 1 and 2 Hypertension

Smoking elderly males with stage 1 and 2 hypertension who currently smoked at least one cigarette per day and were willing to quit smoke will be invited to this cluster randomized, controlled, interventional, open clinical trial. The investigators will provide participants with group education of smoking cessation and their blood pressure measured at clinic at the sixth month is the primary endpoint. The investigators aim to explore how group education of smoking cessation effects smoking cessation, hypertension control and cardiovascular events.

What participants receive

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

  • group educationBehavioural

    Group education is one of strategies and behavioural interventions of smoking cessation. Lectures, group meeting for mutual support, discussion of coping skills and suggestions for prevention relapse can help smokers quit smoking by providing support and encouragement from people in same condition.

  • conventional smoking cessation managementBehavioural

    Including regular follow-up of smoking status and giving advice of smoking cessation

What is being measured

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

  1. change of clinic systolic blood pressure from baseline at the sixth month

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, stroke,myocardial infarction)

    Measured: 6 months, 1 year, 2years, 3 years

  2. change of clinical blood pressure and home blood pressure from baseline

    Measured: 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years

  3. Hypertension control rate

    Measured: 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years

  4. Biochemical smoking cessation rate

    CO≤6 ppm

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Self-reported 7-days smoking cessation rate

    Measured: 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years

  6. Self-reported long-term smoking cessation rate

    Participants hadn't smoked for at least one month.

    Measured: 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years

  7. Self-reported average number of cigarettes smoked per day

    Measured: 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years

  8. Relapse rate

    Measured: 6 month

  9. Mini-Mental State Examination score

    The cognitive function of participants will be assessed by MMSE. The score of MMSE ranges from 0 (worse) to 30 (better).

    Measured: 6 months

  10. FEV1-Pulmonary functions

    Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) is the volume of air exhaled in the first second during forced exhalation after maximum inspiration.

    Measured: 6 months

  11. PEF-Pulmonary functions

    Peak expiratory flow (PEF), the maximal flow that can be exhaled when blowing out at a steady rate.

    Measured: 6 months

  12. FVC-Pulmonary functions

    Forced vital capacity (FVC), is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled when blowing out as fast as possible.

    Measured: 6 months

  13. Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence score

    The score of FTND ranges from 0 to 10. Participants with higher scores have higher degree of tobacco dependence and are less likely to maintain the status of smoking cessation.

    Measured: 6 months

  14. Carbon monoxide concentration breathed

    Measured: 6 months

  15. Adverse events, including nicotine withdrawal symptoms and other adverse events.

    Nicotine withdrawal symptoms were quantified using the Minnesota Tobacco Withdrawal Scale (MNWS).

    Measured: 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing group education and conventional smoking cessation management in people with Smoking Cessation and Hypertension, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.

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 7 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Jiguang Wang, PhD (+86-21-64370045 ext. 610911, jiguangw@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change of clinic systolic blood pressure from baseline at the sixth month (time frame: 6 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 3 Oct 2022.
