High Blood Pressure Research

One out of every four American adults has high blood pressure. Odds are that you or someone in your family has it and doesn't know it. High blood pressure increases your chances of having a stroke or developing heart or kidney disease. Some people with high blood pressure complain of occasional headaches and nosebleeds. But high blood pressure is also known as a "silent killer" because many people experience no symptoms at all.

You may be eligible to participate in a medical research study for an investigational medication. Qualified participants will receive a study-related medical evaluation and study-related medication. Participants will be under doctor's supervision throughout the study.

To learn more about this clinical research study, please call the John Ervin, MD, research office of, The Center for Pharmaceutical Research, at 816-943-0770. Other current enrolling studies include osteoarthritis, insomnia, migraines, hip fracture prevention, diabetic peripheral neuropathy and rheumatoid arthritis.
