Radial-access kidney nerve procedure for hard-to-control high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure that uses a catheter through the wrist or thigh to quiet overactive nerves in the kidney artery. It aims to lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure stays uncontrolled despite using multiple blood pressure medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- Your blood pressure stays high despite 2 to 5 medicines (including an ACE inhibitor or ARB plus other typical add-ons), and your daytime readings are still high
- Your kidney artery is a suitable size for treatment (about 3 to 8 mm, checked during the procedure)
- You are able to have either wrist (radial) or thigh (femoral) access for the catheter
- You can understand the study and sign consent in writing
- You are not in another drug or device study

This trial tests a procedure that targets nerves near the kidney (renal denervation) to help lower blood pressure in people whose hypertension is not controlled despite medication. It uses a special 3D mapping system to guide the procedure.
This trial tests a new way to perform a procedure called renal denervation, which uses radio waves to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. By getting feedback during the procedure, doctors hope to make the treatment more effective for people with high blood pressure.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation to lower blood pressure in people whose medication isn't enough. It uses a special catheter to calm nerves near the kidneys that may be overactive.
This trial tests whether stimulating nerves around the kidney can lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure stays uncontrolled despite treatment. It may help by improving how the kidneys and blood vessels regulate blood pressure.
This study tests a new device that uses energy to calm kidney nerves, which may help lower blood pressure in people with chronic kidney disease whose blood pressure stays high despite taking multiple medications.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation for people with untreated high diastolic blood pressure. The procedure uses a small catheter to interrupt nerve signals around the kidneys, which may help lower blood pressure.
