Stroke Clinical Trial - TEC4Home Stroke

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will test the feasibility of a home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPTM) system in patients with minor stroke or TIA in the past year. The telemonitoring system will consist of a blood pressure machine and an online survey to submit blood pressure measurements. The investigators want to test whether patients can persistently use the telemonitoring system with ease and whether telephone instructions for blood pressure medications from the research nurse can be correctly understood. A secondary purpose of this study is to look at the effects of telemonitoring in blood pressure and stroke recurrence.

Clinical Trial Description

The investigators propose a two-year pilot study (TEC4Home Stroke) to assess the feasibility of using home telemonitoring technology in managing hypertension among patients with minor stroke/TIA (NIH Stroke Scale Score <5) at the VGH Stroke Prevention Clinic (SPC). The Vancouver Stroke Program SPC receives 1200 referrals per year for assessment of patients with strokes or TIAs. Of the total number of patients referred to the SPC, 45% were deemed as hypertensive patients through any one of: (1) medical history of hypertension, (2) on antihypertensive medications or (3) having blood pressure measurements above 140/90 mm Hg during their assessment at the clinic.

This project, which includes baseline assessments of home supports and cognition, will assess the specific needs of the post-stroke population in determining feasibility of HBPTM and nurse-led hypertension treatment. Previous studies of aggressive hypertensive control regimens have shown that it takes approximately six months to consistently achieve target pressures (SPRINT, SPS3). Thus in this feasibility study, participants will be monitored for 6 months using home telemonitoring technology. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
