| NCT01297335 | Effect of Intrathecal Clonidine in Hypertensive Subjects With Poorly Controlled Blood Pressure | PHASE2 | COMPLETED | 10 | — | — | Feb 1, 2011 | Jul 1, 2012 | Oct 19, 2016 | - | — |
Subjects baseline blood pressure (systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP)), and blood pressures after clonidine injection was compared against baseline to assess efficacy of clonidine in refractory hypertensive subjects. Subject's blood pressure was monitored continuously after intrathecal injection of clonidine until subjects blood pressure nadir and return to pre clonidine injection level. The mean value reported below are the average changes in blood pressure from baseline (pre clonidine injection) in both SBP and DBP during post clonidine injection blood pressure monitoring for 4 hours. Blood pressure measurements were collected every 10 minutes for first hour after injection, and every 15 minutes after the first hour, up to 4 hours were averaged to report the change from baseline.
