Kidney nerve treatment for high blood pressure without blood pressure pills
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure that uses energy to disrupt kidney nerves, which may help lower blood pressure. Participants will stop taking blood pressure medications for a period, allowing the study to see if the procedure alone can control blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your blood pressure is high (systolic 150-180 and diastolic at least 90) despite taking 0, 1, or 2 blood pressure medications.
- You are willing to stop taking blood pressure medications for about 13 weeks (5 weeks before and 8 weeks after the procedure).
- Your 24-hour blood pressure average is in the range of 140-170 systolic.
- You have not had kidney nerve treatment before.
- Your kidney function is good (eGFR above 45) and you do not have certain heart or sleep conditions.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant, and you are not on chronic NSAIDs or immunosuppressive drugs.

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 procedure called renal denervation, which uses targeted energy to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. It is for people with high diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) who have not yet taken blood pressure medication.
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.
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 whether stimulating nerves around the kidney can lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure stays uncontrolled despite treatment. It may help by improving how the kidneys and blood vessels regulate blood pressure.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation (using sound waves or heat to calm overactive nerves in the kidney arteries) to help lower blood pressure after a recent stroke. The goal is to reduce future stroke risk by improving blood pressure control.
