Kidney nerve treatment for isolated diastolic hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have high blood pressure that is not caused by another condition.
- You have not taken any blood pressure medication before.
- Your diastolic blood pressure (bottom number) is at least 90 mmHg when measured at the doctor's office, and at least 80 mmHg on a 24-hour monitor, while your systolic pressure (top number) is below 140 mmHg in the office and below 130 mmHg on a 24-hour monitor.
- You must avoid pregnancy during the trial (if applicable).
- You do not have conditions that make the procedure unsafe, such as severe kidney problems, abnormal kidney arteries, bleeding disorders, or atrial fibrillation.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
