New surgical approach aims to tame resistant hypertension
NCT ID NCT06216808
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study is testing a new device called HyperQure that uses radiofrequency energy to disrupt nerves around the kidney arteries, which may help lower blood pressure. It involves 10 adults with resistant hypertension who are already taking 3 or more blood pressure medications. The main goal is to see if the procedure is safe and if it reduces 24-hour blood pressure at 3 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HyperQure Renal Denervation System (a device that uses radiofrequency energy to disrupt nerves around the kidney arteries, done via laparoscopic surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new way to lower blood pressure in people whose hypertension doesn't respond to multiple medications, potentially reducing their need for drugs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, first-in-human study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure is surgical and carries risks like infection or blood vessel damage, and it's unclear if the blood pressure drop will last.
