Kidney nerve treatment for heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure that uses energy to calm overactive nerves in the kidney, which may help improve heart failure symptoms. It is for people with heart failure who are already on the best available medicines but still have symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure and are on stable heart failure medicines for at least 4 weeks.
- You have symptoms like shortness of breath or chest tightness when active.
- Your heart's pumping ability is either very low (40% or less) or normal (50% or more).
- A blood test shows a certain protein level (NT-proBNP) of 500 or higher.
- You do not have certain other heart conditions, kidney problems, or recent major events like stroke or heart attack.

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 study tests a procedure that uses sound waves to calm overactive kidney nerves, which may help lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure is hard to treat or who cannot tolerate blood pressure medicines.
This study tests whether the length of time used for a kidney nerve treatment (renal denervation) affects how well it lowers blood pressure. It may help people whose blood pressure is still high despite taking medications.
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 a procedure called renal denervation (using radio waves to calm overactive nerves in the kidney) to see if it helps lower blood pressure in people on dialysis who have resistant high blood pressure.
This trial tests a new device that uses radiofrequency energy to calm overactive kidney nerves, which can help lower blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure that hasn't responded well to standard treatments, this could be an option to discuss with your doctor.
