Renal nerve stimulation for hard-to-control high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 to 80 years old
- Your 24-hour blood pressure average is higher than 130/80 mmHg
- Your kidney filtration (glomerular filtration rate) is above 45 mL/min
- CT angiography shows your kidney artery shape is suitable (main artery not too small and long enough)
- Your high blood pressure is not caused by a secondary cause (like certain hormone tumors or significant renal artery narrowing)

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 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 study tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses energy to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. It is for people with mild high blood pressure who have not taken blood pressure medication for at least four weeks.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses targeted energy to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. It is for people with high diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) who have not yet taken blood pressure medication.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation (using sound waves or heat to calm overactive nerves in the kidney arteries) to help lower blood pressure after a recent stroke. The goal is to reduce future stroke risk by improving blood pressure control.
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.
