A study on a procedure for hard-to-treat high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have high blood pressure that stays high (at least 140 mm Hg systolic) despite taking 3 or more blood pressure pills (including a water pill) for more than 3 months, OR you cannot take blood pressure medications due to side effects or other medical reasons.
- You are willing to undergo a kidney nerve procedure and agree to participate in the study.
- You do not have certain kidney artery issues (like being too narrow, too wide, or having a bulge or blockage).
- You are not pregnant and do not have kidney or adrenal tumors.

This study tests a procedure called Endovascular Denervation (EDN) to lower blood pressure in people with Type 2 diabetes and resistant hypertension. You may be a good fit if your blood pressure stays high despite taking at least 3 blood pressure medications.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation (using radiofrequency energy to calm overactive kidney nerves) in people who have chest pain caused by tiny heart artery dysfunction and also have hard-to-control high blood pressure. The goal is to see if treating the kidney nerves improves blood flow in the small heart arteries.
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 trial tests a new device procedure (renal denervation) to lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure is not well controlled by medications or who cannot tolerate them. If you have resistant hypertension and meet the safety criteria, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation for people with untreated high diastolic blood pressure. The procedure uses a small catheter to interrupt nerve signals around the kidneys, which may help lower blood pressure.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation—which reduces nerve signals to the kidneys—to help control high blood pressure in patients who are having staged heart procedures to open blocked coronary arteries. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients whose blood pressure remains high even on multiple blood pressure medications.
