Ultrasound treatment for high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new ultrasound procedure to help control high blood pressure. It's for adults whose blood pressure stays high even while taking two or more medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with high blood pressure for at least 6 months.
- You are currently taking 2 or more blood pressure pills and your blood pressure is still high (top number 150–180, bottom number 90 or higher).
- Your 24-hour blood pressure monitor shows an average top number between 135 and 170.
- Your kidney arteries are wide enough (at least 3 mm) and long enough (at least 20 mm) on a CT scan.
- You do not have certain other conditions like severe diabetes, kidney problems, a pacemaker, or recent heart attack or stroke.

This trial tests a new device that uses ultrasound to treat nerves in the kidney arteries that may be overactive and raising your blood pressure. It's for people whose blood pressure stays high despite taking at least two medications.
This clinical trial tests a new procedure that uses gentle ultrasound energy to calm overactive nerves in the kidney arteries that can raise blood pressure. It is for people whose high blood pressure is not well controlled despite taking two or more medications.
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.
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 study tests if using focused ultrasound on a small cluster of cells in your neck (the carotid body) can help lower blood pressure. It's for people whose blood pressure remains high despite taking two or more medications.
This trial tests a new ultrasound treatment that targets the fat pad around your kidney to lower blood pressure. It might be an option if your blood pressure is still high despite medication and you meet the size requirements for the fat pad.
