Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This randomized controlled trial investigates the efficacy and safety of mobile health intervention in managing hypertension after Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH).

Detailed Description
140 ICH survivors will be randomized into mobile health intervention (MOBILE) and the usual care group for hypertension management. All subjects will be educated on the importance of hypertension control after ICH and given lifestyle advice, including the DASH diet. Subjects in the MOBILE group will enter their home blood pressure (BP) measurements into a mobile stroke App (WeRISE) daily, and the study team will regularly review the BP measurements through a backend system. A protocol-based intervention via phone calls, which includes anti-hypertensive drug adjustment and reinforcement of lifestyle modification, will be implemented. Subjects in the usual care group will have their hypertension managed by their respective treating physicians. All subjects will be followed up for 26 weeks. The primary and secondary endpoints include the rate of controlled hypertension at 12 and 26 weeks.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Rate of controlled hypertension 12 weeks after ICH [12 weeks]
Office BP <130/80 mmHg
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change of BP from recruitment to 12 weeks [12 weeks]
The difference between BP measurement on recruitment and at 12 weeks
- Rate of controlled hypertension 26 weeks after ICH [26 weeks]
Office BP <130/80 mmHg
- Morisky Medication Adherence Scale at 12 and 26 weeks [12 and 26 weeks]
Score ranging from 0-8 points, with the higher scores indicating better drug adherence.
- Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet Adherence Score at 12 and 26 weeks [12 and 26 weeks]
Score ranging from 0-10 points, with the higher scores indicating better DASH diet adherence.
