What this study is about

View original scientific description
The primary objective of the Implementation of Effective Hypertension Management Approaches: Cleveland Clinic program is to improve blood pressure control for patients diagnosed with hypertension (HTN) and uncontrolled blood pressure, specifically defined as a blood pressure greater than 150/95, across all Cleveland Clinic Northeast Ohio primary care practices. The project will scale up the availability of resources for treating hypertension in 56 primary care practices within the Cleveland Clinic Health System in Northern Ohio, reaching up to approximately 3800 patients. This project will utilize evidence from a randomized controlled trial by Margolis et al.(1) to build upon Cleveland Clinic's existing team-based primary care provider (PCP) collaboration with pharmacists and advanced practice providers (APP) and will use a mechanism that allows titrating blood pressure medications based on patient-recorded home blood pressure readings.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
