Kidney nerve block for high blood pressure during surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if numbing the nerves around the kidney artery during laparoscopic surgery can better control high blood pressure. It is for people already needing surgery for certain kidney or adrenal conditions who also have hypertension.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You need to have a planned laparoscopic surgery for an adrenal gland tumor, early stage kidney cancer, or a kidney cyst.
- You must have high blood pressure, either untreated (numbers 140/90 or higher) or treated with medication for at least 4 weeks.
- Your kidney function must be good enough (eGFR of 45 or higher).
- You cannot have a blocked kidney artery or have had heart attack or stroke within the last 6 months.

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 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 procedure that uses energy to disrupt kidney nerves, which may help lower blood pressure. Participants will stop taking blood pressure medications for a period, allowing the study to see if the procedure alone can control blood pressure.
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.
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.
