Ultrasound treatment for high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new ultrasound treatment that targets the carotid body, a small cluster of cells in the neck that helps control blood pressure. It aims to see if this treatment can safely lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure is not well controlled with medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have high blood pressure and are taking two or more blood pressure medicines.
- Your blood pressure is still high (systolic 150-179 mmHg in the office, or 135-169 mmHg over 24 hours).
- You have primary hypertension (not caused by another condition).
- You are willing to participate and follow up with the study team.

This clinical trial tests a new procedure that uses gentle ultrasound energy to calm overactive nerves in the kidney arteries that can raise blood pressure. It is for people whose high blood pressure is not well controlled despite taking two or more medications.
This trial tests a new ultrasound treatment on the kidney arteries to see if it can safely lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease. It may help avoid more invasive procedures.
This trial tests an ultrasound device that targets nerves around the kidney to lower blood pressure. It may help people whose blood pressure is not well controlled with medication.
