Ultrasound treatment for high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 22 and 75 years old.
- You have a history of high blood pressure and are on or have been on blood pressure medication.

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 whether ultrasound “renal denervation” can safely and effectively lower blood pressure in people whose hypertension is not well controlled after a kidney transplant. If you qualify, the study may help you see whether this procedure reduces office and 24-hour blood pressure readings without harming your transplanted kidney.
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.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation to lower blood pressure in people whose medication isn't enough. It uses a special catheter to calm nerves near the kidneys that may be overactive.
This study tests a treatment to lower blood pressure in adults aged 65 and older whose blood pressure is not well controlled with their current medications. It may be an option for those looking for additional ways to manage their hypertension.
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.
