Summary

This trial aims to test if using a mobile health app can help kids with kidney problems sleep better and lower their blood pressure.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with high blood pressure potentially linked to not getting enough sleep. Participants should be currently receiving care in a pediatric nephrology setting. The specific inclusion and exclusion criteria are not provided, but typically would detail age range, health status, and other relevant factors.
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether using mobile health technology to encourage more sleep can help kids sleep longer and lower their blood pressure. It's likely that the approach involves an app or device designed to promote better sleep habits.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention focuses on non-invasive methods like improving sleep through mobile health technology, side effects may be minimal or related to changes in lifestyle rather than medication-related risks.
