Blood vessel treatment for hard-to-control high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 to 75 years old
- Have been diagnosed with primary high blood pressure (not caused by another condition)
- Be on a stable combination of at least two blood pressure medications for 4 weeks or more, including a specific type (ARB and CCB, possibly plus a water pill)
- Have high blood pressure readings even with medication: office systolic 150-179 mmHg and diastolic at least 90 mmHg, plus 24-hour monitor systolic at least 135 mmHg
- Have suitable kidney artery size and no major blockages, stents, or other problems in those arteries

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.
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.
This trial tests whether placing a small metal tube (stent) in a narrowed kidney artery—guided by a pressure measurement called fractional flow reserve—helps lower blood pressure better than a placebo (no stent). It is for people whose blood pressure stays high despite taking multiple medicines.
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 a surgery called laparoscopic renal denervation that may help lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure is not controlled by multiple medications. The procedure targets nerves around the kidney to reduce their activity, which may help lower blood pressure.
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.
