Laser acupuncture for high blood pressure in dialysis patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether laser acupuncture can help lower high blood pressure in people who are on hemodialysis. If you are on dialysis and have high blood pressure, this treatment may offer a needle-free way to help manage it.

This study tests whether laser acupuncture—a non-invasive treatment using light instead of needles—can help reduce stiffness in blood vessels and improve overall heart and kidney health in people with multiple related conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol.
This trial studies whether electro-acupuncture can improve blood pressure in people with mild coronary artery disease or high blood pressure. If it works, it may offer a non-medicine approach to better blood pressure control.
This trial tests a new ultrasound treatment on the kidney arteries to see if it can safely lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease. It may help avoid more invasive procedures.
This trial tests whether ultrasound “renal denervation” can safely and effectively lower blood pressure in people whose hypertension is not well controlled after a kidney transplant. If you qualify, the study may help you see whether this procedure reduces office and 24-hour blood pressure readings without harming your transplanted kidney.
This trial tests a procedure that uses heat to disrupt nerves in the kidney arteries to lower blood pressure. Participants must have high blood pressure and be willing to temporarily stop their blood pressure medications to see if the procedure works alone.
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.
