Kidney nerve treatment for chest pain from small heart artery issues
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation (using radiofrequency energy to calm overactive kidney nerves) in people who have chest pain caused by tiny heart artery dysfunction and also have hard-to-control high blood pressure. The goal is to see if treating the kidney nerves improves blood flow in the small heart arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chest pain but heart artery blockages are not the cause (no major blockages on a heart catheter test).
- You have high blood pressure that is difficult to control, and your doctor thinks kidney nerve treatment might help.
- You have been diagnosed with tiny heart artery dysfunction based on a special heart catheter test (IMR > 25 or CFR < 2).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have not started new heart medicines (nitrates, beta-blockers, or calcium channel blockers) in the last 30 days before screening.
- Your kidney arteries are suitable for the procedure (no anatomical problems).

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 trial tests a procedure called renal denervation—which reduces nerve signals to the kidneys—to help control high blood pressure in patients who are having staged heart procedures to open blocked coronary arteries. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients whose blood pressure remains high even on multiple blood pressure medications.
This trial studies whether a procedure that calms overactive kidney nerves (renal denervation) can improve symptoms and heart function in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. It also checks that the kidney arteries are suitable and that your blood pressure and heart pressure measurements meet the study targets.
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 (using radio waves to calm overactive nerves in the kidney) to see if it helps lower blood pressure in people on dialysis who have resistant 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.
