Kidney nerve treatment for chest pain and high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have non-obstructive coronary artery disease, meaning no major blockages in your heart arteries.
- You have difficult-to-control high blood pressure that might be treated with renal denervation.
- You have not started or changed certain heart medications (nitrates, beta-blockers, or calcium channel blockers) within the last 30 days.
- Your blood pressure is not well controlled even after optimizing your medications.
- You do not have secondary causes of high blood pressure, unsuitable kidney anatomy, or other major heart conditions.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old and are not pregnant.

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 study tests a new treatment called HyperQure RDN, a laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery that targets nerves near the kidneys to lower blood pressure in people with resistant hypertension. If you have tried multiple medications but your blood pressure is still high, this procedure might offer an alternative approach.
This study looks at a procedure called renal denervation, which uses a device to calm overactive nerves near the kidneys to help lower blood pressure. It may be an option if you have resistant hypertension and struggle to take standard blood pressure medications.
This study tests whether a procedure called renal denervation (using energy to calm overactive kidney nerves) can help lower blood pressure in people who are already having two planned heart procedures. It is for those with high blood pressure that is hard to control despite taking multiple medicines.
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, 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.
