Clinical Trial Summary

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is an ideal tool for the diagnosis and evaluation of hypertension.However, ABPM frequently measures the tightening feeling and buzzing sound of the blood pressure cuff during nighttime, which can cause the patient to wake up easily during sleep, which will affect the sleep of the patient. Moreover, improper awakening of the patient from sleep can significantly increase the patient's blood pressure and affect the accuracy of ABPM monitoring. The Effect of ABPM on Sleep Disturbance (EMBED) study is designed to examine whether ABPM affects sleep, as well as the relationship and influencing factors of sleep and ABPM results, and screening for people who are susceptible to ABPM testing.


Clinical Trial Description

Participants who accept ABPM in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, will be recruited for EMBED enrollment. Participants will be asked to provide basic background information and to fill out the STOP-BANG evaluation form. Anxiety, depression, insomnia, sleep questionnaire and pain assessment scale for cuff inflation are used to assess characteristics of participants and their sleep quality. Before ABPM starts, office blood pressure of participants will be measured. Participants will undergo ABPM under standardized guidance. At the end of ABPM, participants will be asked to fill in sleep questionnaire and pain assessment scale for cuff inflation again. EMBED proposes to study whether ABPM affects sleep, as well as the relationship and influencing factors of sleep and ABPM results, and screening for people who are susceptible to ABPM testing. A better understanding of interaction between ABPM and sleep will help us further evaluate the accuracy of ABPM and more precisely control diurnal hypertension in the future. ;
