Optimized kidney nerve treatment for high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have high blood pressure and are willing to have a procedure on your kidney nerves.
- You are currently taking blood pressure medication, or your blood pressure is at least 140/90 in the doctor's office and at least 130/80 over 24 hours.
- Your kidney artery must be large enough and long enough for the procedure, as checked by a CT scan.
- Your high blood pressure is not caused by another condition, such as a hormone problem or a blocked kidney artery.

This trial tests whether stimulating nerves around the kidney can lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure stays uncontrolled despite treatment. It may help by improving how the kidneys and blood vessels regulate blood pressure.
This study tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses energy to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. It is for people with mild high blood pressure who have not taken blood pressure medication for at least four weeks.
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 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, 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 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.
