Fat around kidney treatment for hard-to-control high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new approach for people whose blood pressure remains high despite taking three medications. It uses a special device or therapy to modify the fat around the kidney, which may help lower blood pressure further.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your blood pressure is still high (daytime average systolic 130-149 mmHg) after taking at least 3 blood pressure pills for a month, including a water pill.
- You have at least a certain amount of fat around your kidney (measured by ultrasound).
- You are willing to come to the clinic and sign a consent form.

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.
This trial tests a new ultrasound treatment that targets the fat pad around your kidney to lower blood pressure. It might be an option if your blood pressure is still high despite medication and you meet the size requirements for the fat pad.
This clinical trial tests a new procedure that uses gentle ultrasound energy to calm overactive nerves in the kidney arteries that can raise blood pressure. It is for people whose high blood pressure is not well controlled despite taking two or more medications.
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 a new device that uses ultrasound to treat nerves in the kidney arteries that may be overactive and raising your blood pressure. It's for people whose blood pressure stays high despite taking at least two medications.
This study tests a new device that uses energy to calm kidney nerves, which may help lower blood pressure in people with chronic kidney disease whose blood pressure stays high despite taking multiple medications.
