Blood pressure study for older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment to lower blood pressure in adults aged 65 and older whose blood pressure is not well controlled with their current medications. It may be an option for those looking for additional ways to manage their hypertension.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well a procedure that uses sound waves to calm kidney nerves (renal denervation) lowers blood pressure over time. It may help people whose blood pressure stays high despite taking medication.
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 an ultrasound device that targets nerves around the kidney to lower blood pressure. It may help people whose blood pressure is not well controlled with medication.
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 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.
