Kidney nerve treatment for early high blood pressure
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses energy to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. It is for people with mild high blood pressure who have not taken blood pressure medication for at least four weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old.
- You have had high blood pressure for more than 3 months.
- You have not taken blood pressure medicine for at least 4 weeks (or never take it), and your blood pressure is still high (usually 140/90 or higher at the doctor's office and 130/80 or higher on a 24-hour monitor).
- You are not pregnant or planning pregnancy during the study.
- You do not have serious kidney problems, a single kidney, or a history of kidney transplant.
- You do not have certain other causes of high blood pressure (like hormone problems) or serious health conditions that could affect participation.

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 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.
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 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 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 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.
