Video-based Intervention to Address Disparities in Blood Pressure Control After Stroke
United States542 participantsStarted 2022-03-29
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of a multidisciplinary telehealth-based model of outpatient stroke care on blood pressure control following stroke, and further, to evaluate its impact on racial disparities in post-stroke blood pressure control.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke (intracerebral hemorrhage),or transient ischemic attack (TIA
* Presence of hypertension (by clinical history or hospital BP ≥140/90 mmHg on two occasions)
* Plan to discharge home after stroke
* Ability to provide consent (patient or caregiver) in English or Spanish. Patients with cognitive impairment or aphasia limiting participation will be included if they have a caregiver to assist with monitoring and telehealth visits.
* Two neurologists must agree on TIA diagnosis
Exclusion Criteria:
* Modified Rankin scale (mRs) \> 4 (severe disability) at time of discharge
* Life expectancy \< 1 year or terminal illness
* Stroke unrelated to vascular risk factors (RFs) (drug use, trauma, vasculitis)
* Pregnancy
* Symptomatic flow limiting carotid stenosis without plan for intervention
* Long-term BP goal ≥ 130/80 mmHg according to clinical team
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial uses a video-based intervention to help manage blood pressure after stroke — could something like this actually work for my situation, and is my blood pressure control currently a concern worth addressing this way?
2The trial focuses on disparities in blood pressure control, which suggests it may be designed for specific populations who face extra barriers to care — is this something my doctor thinks is relevant to my background or circumstances?
3Since the trial is no longer actively recruiting, are there similar video-based or remote blood pressure management programs I could still access, or is standard in-person follow-up care a better fit for me right now?
4The main outcome being measured is 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring over 6 months — is that kind of monitoring something I should be doing regardless of any trial, and what would my results mean for my stroke recovery?
5Compared to what this trial is studying, are there already proven strategies my care team recommends for controlling blood pressure after stroke that I should be prioritizing first?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
