Improving Blood Pressure Control After Stroke

This study aims to see if giving stroke patients a free Omron Home Blood Pressure Cuff and teaching them how to use it can help them control their blood pressure better after leaving the hospital. Researchers want to know if this helps improve health outcomes and if it helps all patients equally, regardless of their background. You may be able to join if you are over 18, were admitted to Stanford Hospital for a stroke (ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke), a TIA (mini-stroke), or are at high risk for stroke. The study will measure your blood pressure at 3 and 6 months to see if the intervention is successful. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 50 participants.

Study design
This interventional study will randomly assign 50 participants to one of two groups. One group will receive standard stroke education, and the other will receive the education plus a free Omron Home Blood Pressure Cuff.
What's involved
You will complete an intake survey. If in the intervention group, you will receive an Omron Home Blood Pressure Cuff and teaching on its use before leaving the hospital.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your blood pressure will be measured at Month 3 and Month 6 after enrollment.
