Spiral nerve treatment for uncontrolled high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new procedure to treat high blood pressure by using a special catheter to calm overactive nerves in your kidneys. It may help you achieve better blood pressure control if medications are not enough.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your blood pressure must be at least 140/90 in the doctor's office and above 135 systolic at home on average.
- You must have a valid 24-hour blood pressure monitoring test before starting.
- You cannot have severely reduced kidney function (eGFR below 45).
- You cannot have had a similar kidney nerve treatment before.
- You cannot have poorly controlled diabetes with a hemoglobin A1c above 8.0%.

This study tests a device (Spyral catheter) that uses radio waves to calm overactive nerves in the kidney arteries, which may help lower blood pressure. It is for people who still have high blood pressure even while taking 1 to 3 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 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 study tracks patients who have uncontrolled high blood pressure and are on a steady medication plan. It checks how kidney nerve treatment (renal denervation) works in real life over time.
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.
