Comparing guideline-recommended and routine blood pressure checks in women of reproductive age

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Accurate blood pressure measurement affects diagnosis and management of hypertension, and guideline groups recommend specific steps such as correct cuff size, five minutes rest, a supported seated position, feet flat, and the arm supported at heart level. This interventional study will obtain blood pressure readings using an 'optimal' protocol that follows these guidelines and a 'common' protocol used in routine nursing practice and compare the results. Participants are women aged 18–40, including those with and without hypertension, recruited at a single center. The primary comparison is the variation in measured blood pressure between the two measurement approaches.
