Kidney nerve procedure tested for stubborn high blood pressure
NCT ID NCT05818813
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at the long-term safety and effects of a procedure called renal denervation in 9 patients with resistant hypertension (high blood pressure that doesn't respond to multiple medications). The procedure uses a device to disrupt certain nerves in the kidney arteries, aiming to lower blood pressure. Researchers measured blood pressure and artery function before and 6 months after the procedure. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Renal denervation (a procedure using a device to disrupt nerves in the kidney arteries)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a long-term treatment option for patients with hard-to-control high blood pressure.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, terminated study with only 9 participants, so results are limited and may not apply to others. The procedure carries risks like artery damage or bleeding.
