Run by University of Minnesota · NCT07204756 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This tests whether 2 weeks or 6 weeks of remote blood pressure monitoring after delivery works better for people who had hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) discharged after delivery from the University of Minnesota who enrolled in the HOPE-BP program and who are not taking antihypertensive medication at two weeks are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People who remain on antihypertensive medications at two weeks, have medical comorbidities that preclude randomization, or who did not enroll in HOPE-BP are unlikely to benefit from this comparison.

What this trial studies
This randomized interventional study at the University of Minnesota enrolls postpartum patients with hypertensive disorders who are participating in the HOPE-BP remote monitoring program. At two weeks after delivery, eligible participants who are not on ongoing antihypertensive medication are randomized to either stop monitoring at 2 weeks or continue monitoring through 6 weeks. Clinical outcomes for the two monitoring durations are compared to determine differences in postpartum blood pressure control and related complications. The aim is to identify the monitoring length that best supports patient safety and efficient postpartum care at the institution.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results could identify the optimal monitoring length to reduce postpartum complications and unnecessary follow-up.
How similar studies have gone: Remote postpartum blood pressure monitoring programs have been widely adopted and vary between 2 and 6 weeks, but a randomized comparison of optimal duration is novel.
