- NCT07240441Recruiting
Comparing heart ablation methods for post-heart attack VT
This trial tests two ways to do a heart procedure (ablation) in people who have had a heart attack and now have dangerous fast heart rhythms. It compares the usual method (inside the heart only) with a method that also works on the outer surface of the heart. The goal is to see which works better to stop these rhythms.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18–85 - NCT07156851Recruiting
Belgian registry of implanted EV-ICD devices
This study registers patients who have had or will have an extravascular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (EV-ICD) placed. It aims to track how the device performs and any complications in real-world use.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT07084142Recruiting
Digital aid for ICD decisions
This study is developing a digital tool to help people 70 and older with heart failure decide whether an ICD (a device that prevents dangerous heart rhythms) is right for them. Participants will help test and improve this tool.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06937658Recruiting
Better remote care for heart device patients
This study tests a new alert system for people with pacemakers or defibrillators that can send information directly to your care team. The goal is to improve how quickly problems are found and treated.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06935526Enrolling by invitation
Mobile app and phone calls for ICD patients
This trial tests if a mobile app and regular phone check-ins can help reduce anxiety and improve confidence for people with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). It may be a good fit if you have an ICD, feel some anxiety, and use an Android smartphone.
Antalya, KonyaaltıAges 18 years+ - NCT02275637Recruiting
Testing heart-rhythm monitoring from implanted devices
This study checks how well implanted heart rhythm devices can detect rhythm problems in everyday patients. It may help improve detection and follow-up over the next year.
BergamoAges Any age - NCT06667505Recruiting
Testing an online education program for ICD patients
This trial tests an online educational program designed to help people with heart failure who have or are waiting for an ICD (a device that helps control heart rhythm). It includes patients, their caregivers, and healthcare professionals to see if the program improves understanding and outcomes.
Belfast, County AntrimAges 18 years+ - NCT06656468Enrolling by invitation
Leadless pacemaker study
This trial is studying the results of implanting a leadless pacemaker, a small device placed directly inside the heart to help control heartbeats. It may be an option for people who need a pacemaker.
TricaseAges 18 years+ - NCT05135403Recruiting
Registry study for the ASSURE wearable heart defibrillator
This study collects information from adults who have been prescribed the ASSURE wearable defibrillator. The goal is to understand how the device performs in real-world patients after it is approved.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06543173Recruiting
Preventive heart ablation with defibrillator in high-risk patients
This study tests if doing a special heart procedure (catheter ablation) at the same time as implanting a defibrillator (ICD) can prevent dangerous heart rhythms better than the ICD alone. It is for people with a very weak heart pump due to blocked arteries who are getting a first-time ICD.
Copenhagen, Region HAges 18 years+ - NCT06037785Recruiting
Self-management support after an ICD shock
This study tests a self-management program to help people who have received a shock from their implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). The goal is to see if this program can improve recovery and well-being after a shock.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06294028Recruiting
Ablation vs Defibrillator for Well-Tolerated Fast Heartbeat
This study compares two treatments for a fast heartbeat called ventricular tachycardia in people with prior heart attacks and relatively preserved heart function: one uses heat energy (ablation) to fix the electrical problem, and the other places an implantable defibrillator that shocks the heart to restore normal rhythm. The goal is to find which approach works better for people whose symptoms are well-tolerated.
Toulouse, FranceAges 18–90 - NCT05373940Recruiting
ICD placement to prevent sudden heart death in people over 70
This study looks at placing an ICD, a device that can stop dangerous heart rhythms, to help prevent sudden cardiac death. It is for people over 70 with specific heart function and heart failure symptoms.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 70 years+ - NCT04840797Recruiting
Registry for HeartStart HS1 use during suspected cardiac arrest
This study collects real-world information about people who had a suspected cardiac arrest and where the HeartStart HS1 defibrillator was used with specific Philips pad types. It may help improve how emergency teams respond in the future.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT04250857Recruiting
HeartStart AED event registry for suspected sudden cardiac arrest
This study records information about people who were suspected of having a sudden heart stoppage. It may help improve how emergency responders use this specific AED (automated defibrillator).
Monroeville, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT03544489Recruiting
Exercise program after ICD implant
This trial studies whether adding a structured exercise program after an ICD implant is safe and helpful for people with certain heart rhythm problems. You may qualify if you can comfortably walk daily and can follow the study schedule for several months.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT02888353Enrolling by invitation
MRI safety check for people with pacemakers or defibrillators
This trial studies whether it’s safe to do MRI scans in people who already have a pacemaker or an implanted defibrillator (ICD) when they medically need an MRI. It’s for patients who can pass the usual MRI safety screening.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for defibrillators?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 65 recruiting defibrillators studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a defibrillators trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a defibrillators trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
