Summary
Children are increasingly being diagnosed with essential hypertension and the absence of
comparative effectiveness research in antihypertensive therapies has contributed to
considerable differences in prescribing practices among physicians treating children with
essential hypertension.
This study will consist of a series of systematically-administered n-of-1 trials among
children to verify the need for ongoing antihypertensive treatment and if so, to identify the
preferred single drug therapy.
