Conditions

Summary

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive condition with high morbidity, frequent hospitalizations, and risk of right heart failure. Despite advances in treatment, poor adherence remains a major challenge. This randomized controlled study assesses whether remote monitoring can improve treatment adherence, clinical outcomes, and side effect management in PAH patients on oral therapy.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether a telemedicine and patient guidance program can improve how consistently patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH — a condition causing high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs) take their prescribed medications, ultimately improving outcomes. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years of age or older - You have been diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (WHO Group 1 PAH) - You have been on stable oral PAH treatment for at least 4 weeks before enrolling - You have access to a phone or internet connection for remote teleconsultations **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a different form of pulmonary hypertension (Groups 2–5) - You started a new PAH medication less than 4 weeks ago - You do not have access to a phone or internet - You are currently in a hospital or have been recently hospitalized for PAH-related reasons Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALTelemedicine-Based Adherence Support

The intervention consists of biweekly teleconsultations for six months, conducted by healthcare professionals, focusing on medication adherence, patient education, side effect management, and remote support for individuals with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Patients will receive structured guidance on treatment adherence, tailored counseling, and real-time problem-solving strategies. The goal is to improve adherence to oral PAH therapy and enhance clinical outcomes compared to standard care.
