Telephone-Based Lifestyle Intervention to Reduce Blood Pressure in Prehypertensive Patients
Stopped early · Phase 2
Conditions studied: High Blood Pressure
In brief
Individuals with prehypertension are at risk for developing cardiovascular disease and sustained hypertension. Modifying lifestyle behaviors (diet, weight loss, sodium intake, physical activity, alcohol intake) has been shown to reduce blood pressure in hypertensives. Participants in this study will be enrolled in one of two groups. Participants in the first group will receive usual care, and participants in the second group will receive a 4 session telephone-based lifestyle intervention. The goal of the study is to determine whether this intervention is effective in promoting behavior change and reducing blood pressure among prehypertensives.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Screening BP in prehypertensive range (SBP of 120-139 mmHg or DBP of 80-89 mmHg). If SBP or DBP is below these ranges, the patient is eligible. However, if either SBP or DBP is above the upper cutoffs (i.e., patient meets criteria for HTN), the patient will not be eligible.
- Able to read and communicate in English or Spanish.
- Must have access to a telephone at home or at work.
- Age 18 years or older
You may not qualify if…
- Patients who are currently taking anti-hypertensive medication will be excluded.
- Patients with diabetes or kidney disease will be excluded, because pharmacologic treatment may be initiated to achieve the JNC 7 recommended BP goal of 130/80 mmHg in patients with these compelling indications.
- Patients who are currently participating in another HTN-related clinical trial will be excluded.
