Physical Activity to Mitigate PreEclampsia Risk

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of aerobic (AE), resistance (RE), and combination (AERE) exercise throughout pregnancy on selected maternal and fetal/neonatal physiological variables in women at-risk for preeclampsia. The central hypothesis of this project is that exercise will decrease severity and occurrence of preeclampsia symptoms, thus improving maternal, pregnancy, and birth outcomes. Aim 1. Determine the influence of different exercise modes during pregnancy at risk of preeclampsia on maternal cardiometabolic health. Aim 2. Determine the most effective exercise mode in pregnancy at risk of preeclampsia on improving birth and infant health outcomes.

Clinical Trial Description

Approximately 5% of pregnancies worldwide and in the United States were complicated by preeclampsia. Women who develop Preeclampsia in Pregnancy go on to develop Cardiovascular issues (Catov and other studies). Further, infants from preeclamptic pregnancies are at increased risk of mortality and comorbid conditions (hypertension, excessive weight gain, increased BMI). However, our preliminary data suggests that exercise will attenuate or prevent the severity and risk of preeclampsia; thus improving health for women and children. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of aerobic (AE), resistance (RE), and combination (AERE) exercise throughout pregnancy on selected maternal and fetal/neonatal physiological variables in women at-risk for preeclampsia. We hypothesize that we will find the following changes:(1) improvements in the measurements of maternal resting heart rate, blood pressure, cardiometabolic risk (CMR) score, placental growth factor (PlGF), preeclampsia severity, onset of preeclampsia of symptoms at each time point (once per visit); and (2) improvements in birth and infant measurements of decreased C-sections, preterm deliveries, hospital stay, birth weight, placental efficiency at birth when exposed to different modes of maternal exercise compared no exercise (usual care) with greatest differences in AERE trained group. Ultimately, our goal is to determine which exercise program is most effective at attenuating or preventing preeclampsia and thus improving health outcomes for mother and child. ;

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.
