Alcohol injection to zap high blood pressure? new trial tests One-Time fix
NCT ID NCT07083765
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests a procedure called renal denervation, where a small amount of alcohol is injected around the kidney nerves to calm overactive signals that raise blood pressure. 142 people with uncontrolled hypertension will either get the real procedure or a sham (fake) procedure, and stop their blood pressure pills for 13 weeks. The goal is to see if this one-time treatment can safely lower blood pressure without needing daily medication.
