Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT06324682Recruiting
Comparing heart pacemaker types for better treatment
This trial looks at different ways to pace the heart (like left, right, or both sides) to see which works best for people who need a pacemaker. If you have a heart condition requiring a pacemaker, this study may help find the safest and most effective option for you.
Ferrara, FEAges 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+ - NCT06597578Recruiting
Registry for pacemaker and ICD lead removal
This trial is a registry that collects information from people who need to have a pacemaker or ICD lead removed. It helps doctors learn more about the procedure and how to improve care.
CologneAges 18 years+ - NCT06607471Recruiting
Study on non-ischemic heart muscle diseases
This study looks at different types of heart muscle diseases that are not caused by blocked arteries (non-ischemic cardiomyopathies). It aims to better understand how to diagnose, predict outcomes, and treat these conditions by gathering information from many patients over time.
Milan, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT06707662Recruiting
Pacing methods to protect heart function
This trial tests two pacing approaches to see which one better prevents weakening of the heart's main pumping chamber. It's for people who need a pacemaker for a slow heart rhythm and are expected to rely on it heavily.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06756282Recruiting
Pacemaker use one year after TAVR
This study looks at people who need a permanent pacemaker after having a TAVR procedure (a type of heart valve replacement). It aims to see how many people still need the pacemaker one year later.
MontpellierAges Any age - 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+ - 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 - NCT01999140Recruiting
ICD and CRT-D device registry for patients worldwide
This trial is a real-world registry that collects information from people who receive an implantable heart defibrillator or related device. It helps doctors understand how these devices are used and how patients do over time.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Any age - 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 - NCT07430813Recruiting
Drone delivery of defibrillators for bystanders
This study tests if drones can deliver a defibrillator to people who witness a cardiac arrest, helping them provide lifesaving care before an ambulance arrives. You may be asked to use a training manikin to see how quickly you can help.
Guildford, SurreyAges 18 years+ - NCT07393009Recruiting
Study of a new left bundle branch area pacing system
This study tests a new type of pacemaker system that delivers pacing to the left side of the heart through a lead placed deep in the wall between the lower chambers. The goal is to see if this approach works well for people who need a pacemaker or CRT.
AdelaideAges 18 years+ - NCT07331831Enrolling by invitation
CPR and AED skills after a training course
This study looks at how confident and skilled people are in performing CPR and using an AED after taking a standard training course. It aims to find out if the course helps people feel ready to act in an emergency.
Sofia, SofiaAges 12 years+ - NCT07253909Enrolling by invitation
Arm function in heart failure with ICD or CRT devices
This study looks at how well people with heart failure and certain heart devices (ICD or CRT) can use their arms and hands. It aims to understand if these devices affect upper body function.
Ankara, SamanpazarıAges 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+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for defibrillators?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 66 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.
