Laparoscopic kidney nerve treatment for resistant hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 22 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with resistant hypertension (high blood pressure that doesn't respond well to multiple medications).
- Your blood pressure is at least 140/90 in the doctor's office and 135/85 on a 24-hour monitor, even while taking at least three different blood pressure pills including a water pill.
- You have not had a kidney denervation procedure before, and your kidneys and renal arteries are healthy enough for the surgery.
- You do not have severe obesity (BMI over 40), cannot work night shifts, and do not have other serious health issues like recent heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure.

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 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 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 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.
This trial tests a new device that uses radiofrequency energy to calm overactive kidney nerves, which can help lower blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure that hasn't responded well to standard treatments, this could be an option to discuss with your doctor.
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.
