A procedure to lower blood pressure in people with type 2 diabetes
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure called endovascular denervation (EDN), which uses a small tube in the kidney blood vessels to calm overactive nerves that can raise blood pressure. It is for people who have both type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure that stays high despite many medicines. The goal is to see if the procedure helps lower blood pressure and improve diabetes control.

This study looks at a procedure called renal denervation, which uses a device to calm overactive nerves in the kidneys that can drive high blood pressure. It is for people whose blood pressure stays high even with several medications, or who cannot tolerate blood pressure pills.
This study tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses radiofrequency energy to calm overactive nerves in the kidneys, to see if it improves blood pressure and chest pain in people with small blood vessel disease in the heart. It may help if you have ongoing high blood pressure and chest pain despite treatment.
This study tests a new treatment called HyperQure RDN, a laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery that targets nerves near the kidneys to lower blood pressure in people with resistant hypertension. If you have tried multiple medications but your blood pressure is still high, this procedure might offer an alternative approach.
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 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 whether a procedure called renal denervation (using energy to calm overactive kidney nerves) can help lower blood pressure in people who are already having two planned heart procedures. It is for those with high blood pressure that is hard to control despite taking multiple medicines.
