Nerve-zapping procedure for high blood pressure put to the test in medicare patients
NCT ID NCT07174622
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks 1,000 Medicare patients with uncontrolled high blood pressure to see if a procedure called renal denervation (using the Symplicity Spyral device) helps lower blood pressure and prevent heart attacks or strokes over two years. Researchers will compare patients who had the procedure plus standard care to those who only received standard care, using existing health records and insurance claims. The goal is to see if this minimally invasive treatment works well in real-world, older populations.
