Nerve ablation study for difficult high blood pressure
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies a procedure called renal nerve denervation (ablation) to improve kidney-related blood pressure in people whose blood pressure stays high despite medications. It may help some people lower blood pressure and improve blood pressure control over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- Your blood pressure is still high (for example, clinic ≥ 140/90 or 24-hour average ≥ 135/85) even after 3 or more BP medicines for over 4 weeks
- You have essential high blood pressure, kidney-related (renal) high blood pressure, or you are willing to receive renal nerve denervation
- You can sign the informed consent form approved by the study’s ethics team
- You are not pregnant and not breastfeeding

This trial tests whether treating atrial fibrillation with a catheter procedure plus treating high blood pressure through kidney nerve treatment works better together. It may help control rhythm and blood pressure, but you must meet several heart, kidney-artery, and safety requirements.
This study is for people with high blood pressure who are already using or planning to use the Netrod RDN system, a device that uses radiofrequency energy to treat the nerves around the kidneys. The study aims to see how well this system controls blood pressure in real life.
This study tests whether the length of time used for a kidney nerve treatment (renal denervation) affects how well it lowers blood pressure. It may help people whose blood pressure is still high despite taking medications.
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 study tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses radiofrequency energy to calm overactive nerves in the kidneys, to see if it improves blood pressure and chest pain in people with small blood vessel disease in the heart. It may help if you have ongoing high blood pressure and chest pain despite treatment.
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.
