Comparing kidney nerve treatment times for high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- You have had high blood pressure for at least 3 months.
- Your blood pressure is still high (clinic reading at least 150/90 mmHg and 24-hour average at least 140 mmHg).
- You are currently taking 1 to 3 blood pressure medications, or you cannot take them due to side effects or medical reasons.
- You do not have certain kidney conditions, secondary causes of high blood pressure, or other major health issues listed in the study.

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 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 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.
This study tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses radiofrequency energy to calm overactive nerves in the kidneys, to see if it improves blood pressure and chest pain in people with small blood vessel disease in the heart. It may help if you have ongoing high blood pressure and chest pain despite treatment.
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.
