Phone-based Intervention Under Nurse Guidance After Stroke 2
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating PINGS 2 and Standard of Care for Blood Pressure and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 500 participants across 10 sites.
Detailed Summary
The overall objective of Phone-based Intervention under Nurse Guidance after Stroke II (PINGS-2) is to deploy a hybrid study design to firstly, demonstrate the efficacy of a theoretical-model-based, mHealth technology-centered, nurse-led, multi-level integrated approach to substantially improve longer term BP control among 500 recent stroke patients encountered at 10 hospitals in Ghana. Secondly, PINGS II seeks to develop an implementation strategy for routine integration and policy adoption of mhealth for post-stroke BP control in a LMIC setting. The investigators will leverage experience gained from the NIH Global Brain Disorders funded R21 pilot study (NS094033) to test efficacy of a refined, culturally-tailored, and potentially implementable intervention aimed at addressing the premier modifiable risk for stroke \& other key variables in an under-resourced system burdened by suboptimal care \& outcomes.
