Nerve ablation study for difficult high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation, 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 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 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.
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 that uses radiofrequency energy to calm overactive kidney nerves, which may help lower blood pressure. It is designed for people whose blood pressure remains high despite standard care.
