Summary
This pilot study tests a device called the Netrod renal denervation system in 20 adults with uncontrolled high blood pressure who are not taking blood pressure pills. The device uses radiofrequency energy to calm overactive kidney nerves, which may help lower blood pressure. Researchers will check safety and blood pressure changes over three months.
