Kidney nerve treatment for high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that uses radiofrequency energy to calm overactive kidney nerves, which can help lower blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure that hasn't responded well to standard treatments, this could be an option to discuss with your doctor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 70 years old.
- Your blood pressure must be 150/90 or higher (but less than 180/110) when checked at a clinic, and your average daytime reading over 24 hours must be at least 140.
- You need clear health checks to make sure your kidney arteries are wide enough for the procedure and that your kidneys are working well.
- You cannot be pregnant or planning to become pregnant, and you must be willing to follow the study schedule.
- You should not have had certain heart problems, like a recent heart attack, heart failure, or an implanted device such as a pacemaker.

This study tests a new treatment that uses a device to calm overactive nerves in the kidneys, which may help lower high blood pressure. It is for people who are already taking at least two blood pressure medications and still have high readings.
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 (using radio waves to calm overactive nerves in the kidney) to see if it helps lower blood pressure in people on dialysis who have resistant high blood pressure.
This study tests a procedure that uses sound waves to calm overactive kidney nerves, which may help lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure is hard to treat or who cannot tolerate blood pressure medicines.
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.
