Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if patient education and regular text reminders are a feasible intervention to engage patients and reduce post partum hypertension. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is a structured postpartum remote blood pressure monitoring intervention with education and individualized medication initiation/adjustment follow-up by televisit feasible? Does a structured program reduce the occurrence of postpartum hypertension, ED visits, hospital readmissions, and adverse outcomes?

Participants will:

View an educational video on HDP post-delivery Receive 1-2 times daily text messages for 6 weeks postpartum Have their blood pressure medications adjusted to lower targets post partum

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

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

Started Mar 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2026, 18 months after the start.

Of 171 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Pre-Eclampsia, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 43. This study's planned 18 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 176 studies reached it within 24 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 43.

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 Apr 9, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
