This study, called BRIDGE, aims to find better ways to lower blood pressure in people who have recently had a stroke. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for having another stroke. Researchers are testing a new approach that combines two methods: teaching you how to check your blood pressure at home and having you participate in group medical visits. They believe that using both methods together will be more effective in lowering blood pressure after a stroke. To join, you must be at least 35 years old, have had a mild to moderate stroke, have high blood pressure, speak English, have internet access, and have a primary care doctor at MGH. The study will measure your systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading) after three months to see how well the intervention works. The current enrollment status is unclear, and they plan to include 50 participants.

Study design

This is an interventional study that plans to enroll 50 participants. It tests a behavioral intervention involving group medical visits and home blood pressure monitoring.

What's involved

Participants will receive instructions for home blood pressure monitoring and be enrolled in group medical visits. The primary endpoint, systolic blood pressure, will be measured at three months.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for at least three months, as systolic blood pressure is measured at this time point.
