Study summary

Home blood pressure measurement has been reported to be associated with better clinic blood pressure and daytime blood pressure control. However, no study has evaluated the association between home blood pressure measurement and control of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in real world practice.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of home blood pressure measurement on the control of ambulatory blood pressure in the real world.

The detailed purposes of the present study are (1) to investigate the effects of home blood pressure measurement on the appropriate control of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in hypertensive patients treated with antihypertensive drug, (2) to evaluate the effect of home blood pressure measurement on the occurrence of cardiovascular events and target organ damage, (3) to investigate the status and appropriateness of home blood pressure measurement in the real world, and (4) to investigate factors of home blood pressure measurement methods affecting the treatment of hypertension.

Study population

Patients with hypertension who were taking antihypertensive drugs for more than 1 year for treatment of hypertension are recruited through advertising in Goyang City where the hospital is located and Paju City near to the hospital.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with hypertension and taking antihypertensive drugs more than 1 year

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Secondary hypertension
  • Hypertensive emergency and urgency
  • Severe heart failure ( III and IV)
  • Angina with 6 months
  • Myocardial infarction within 6 months
  • Peripheral artery disease within 6 months
  • Significant arrhythmia (i.e. ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter)
  • Pregnancy
  • Night labor, shift worker
  • Those who are currently participating in other clinical studies
  • Those who have taken other clinical trial drugs within the past month
  • According to the opinion of the researcher, those who have or may have a disease that may interfere with the completion of the study
  • History of drug or alcohol dependence within 6 months
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Difference of 24-hour blood pressure control rate

    difference of 24-hour blood pressure control rate between patients who measure and do not measure home blood pressure

    Time frame: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

Secondary outcomes

  1. Difference of daytime blood pressure control rate

    Difference of daytime blood pressure control rate between patients who measure and do not measure home blood pressure

    Time frame: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

  2. Difference of office blood pressure control rate

    Difference of office blood pressure control rate between patients who measure and do not measure home blood pressure

    Time frame: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

  3. Difference of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (office, 24-hour, daytime, nighttime)

    Difference of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (office, 24-hour, daytime, nighttime) between patients who measure and do not measure home blood pressure

    Time frame: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

  4. Rate of home blood pressure measurement

    Rate of home blood pressure measurement in study population

    Time frame: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

  5. Reflection of home blood pressure

    Rate of reflecting home blood pressure in the treatment of hypertension at office

    Time frame: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

  6. cardiovascular disease prevalence and target organ damage

    Difference of cardiovascular disease prevalence and target organ damage between patient who do or do not measure home blood pressure * Composites of cardiovascular disease: number of participants with non-fatal myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, revascularization of arteries, stroke, transient ischemic attack, atrial fibrillation, heart failure hospitalization, progression to end-stage renal failure or elevation of creatinine more than 2-fold, other undefined cardiovascular events at the discretion of the investigator * Target organ damage: left ventricular hypertrophy by electrocardiography, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, microalbuminuria

    Time frame: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

  7. Changes of home blood pressure measurement rate

    Changes of home blood pressure measurement rate in study population after 3 year of follow up from baseline

    Time frame: from baseline to 3 years of follow up

  8. Cardiovascular disease events and target organ damage

    Difference of occurrence of cardiovascular disease events and target organ damage between patient who measure and do not measure home blood pressure * Composites of cardiovascular disease events: number of participants with first occurrence of non-fatal myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, revascularization of arteries, stroke, transient ischemic attack, atrial fibrillation, heart failure hospitalization, progression to end-stage renal failure or elevation of creatinine more than 2-fold, other undefined cardiovascular events at the discretion of the investigator * Target organ damage: left ventricular hypertrophy by electrocardiography, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, microalbuminuria from enrollment

    Time frame: during 3 years of follow up from baseline measurement

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Aug 2018 to primary completion in May 2020, 21 months.

Of 345 non-industry observational studies under Hypertension, half reached primary completion within 44 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 111. This study's 21 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 426 studies reached it within 38 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 96.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 12, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
