This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a home-based sleep apnea screening test works as well as the standard clinic-based test for people with high blood pressure. Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep, and it's often missed even though treating it can help lower blood pressure. The researchers want to know if the home test is easier for patients, leads to more diagnoses, and helps more people get the treatment they need.
Many people with high blood pressure also have sleep apnea, but it goes undiagnosed because the standard clinic-based test is inconvenient and hard to access. This study exists to see if a home-based test could make screening easier, help more patients get diagnosed, and ultimately improve their blood pressure control and health.
You will be randomly assigned to either do a sleep test at home or a sleep test at a clinic. The home test involves wearing a small portable device while you sleep for one or more nights. If you're in the clinic group, you'll visit a sleep lab overnight where you'll be connected to monitors. Either way, you'll have follow-up visits at 6 months to check your blood pressure, see if you were diagnosed with sleep apnea, and answer questions about your sleep quality and satisfaction with the test.
