NCT ID: NCT03804801 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Elevated Blood Pressure

Effect of Hibiscus Sabdariffa on Blood Pressure in a University Population

Start date: February 1, 2019
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a very common disease and is considered "the silent killer". Hypertension is responsible for at least 45% of deaths due to heart disease, and 51% of deaths due to stroke. Hypertension plays a part in the worry of heart disease, stroke and kidney failure and premature mortality and disability. If hypertension goes uncontrolled, in the long term, it will cause serious complications, most of which will necessitate costly interventions to be solved and managed. Apparently, these interventions may include cardiac bypass surgery, carotid artery surgery and dialysis, draining individual and government budgets. Recent studies show that hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) tea can lower blood pressure as effectively as some standard anti-hypertensive drugs can. Hibiscus is widely consumed around the world as a ruby-colored, lemony beverage. Hibiscus is safe and, unlike most blood pressure drugs, rarely causes side effects. All of the studies the investigators found in the literature were either underpowered or inconclusive. All of these studies recommended further studies with bigger samples to accurately assess the effect of hibiscus sabdariffa on blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a large-scale study assessing the effectiveness of Hibiscus sabdariffa on lowering blood pressure in individuals with elevated blood pressure.

NCT ID: NCT03764020 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Elevated Blood Pressure

Trial of Oral Melatonin in Elevated Blood Pressure

MRCTEBP
Start date: June 1, 2019
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Since, lowering blood pressure (BP) in elevated blood pressure individuals represents an excellent opportunity to for primary prevention of hypertension (HTN). Therefore, it is planned to use a safe treatment option - oral melatonin supplementation - associated with lifestyle interventions according to the American college of cardiology/American heart association (ACC/AHA) 2013 guideline in elevated blood pressure individuals to mitigate systolic and diastolic BP and ultimately, to prevent the development of HTN. Hypothesis: Melatonin therapy can lower the systolic and diastolic BP of elevated blood pressure individuals Melatonin can attenuate levels of circulatory biomarkers of Hs- CRP, Cholesterol, LDL-c and triglyceride
