Recruiting studies
- NCT04199299Recruiting
Communication sensors for people who can’t express needs clearly
This trial tests a wearable sensor system that may help people who have difficulty communicating their needs clearly. It may capture signals from the body so caregivers and devices can better understand reactions and needs.
OsloAges 5–80 - NCT07217327Recruiting
A sleep sensor study for sleep health
This trial tests a new wearable sensor worn on the body while you sleep. It checks if the sensor can collect helpful information about your sleep and health without needing to be in a sleep lab.
St Louis, MissouriAges 22 years+ - NCT05029570Recruiting
Heart rate control for permanent atrial fibrillation and heart failure
This trial studies whether a strategy to regularize (control) heart rate can improve outcomes in people who have permanent atrial fibrillation and heart failure. It focuses on people with recent heart-failure hospitalization and checks several heart, kidney, and health-condition limits to keep the study safe.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT04201015RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing exercise pacing to improve heart pumping
This trial tests whether “pacing” your exercise (doing it at the right rate) can improve how strongly your heart pumps. It’s for people with heart failure who have a pacemaker and can safely do an exercise test.
LeedsAges 18 years+ - NCT06332391Recruiting
Paced heart rate increase for heart conditioning
This trial tests whether a special pacing pattern can strengthen your heart's pumping ability. You may qualify if you have heart failure with a low ejection fraction and already have a pacemaker or defibrillator with an atrial lead.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–120 - NCT05841199Recruiting
Study heart blood flow during fast heart rates
This study measures how well blood flows through the heart when the heart rate is increased during a heart procedure. It may help doctors better understand coronary (heart artery) blood flow and how to guide treatment when you need angiography or angioplasty.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07016815Recruiting
Remote monitoring to adjust heart failure medications
This trial tests whether checking in remotely (telemonitoring) helps doctors adjust heart failure medications more effectively. It is for people newly diagnosed with heart failure who have reduced pumping strength and signs of fluid buildup.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 19 years+ - NCT06954103Recruiting
Stroke and heart health study for recent stroke patients
This study looks at how a moderate to severe stroke can affect your heart. It aims to understand the link between stroke and heart problems, which may help improve future care.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05388097Recruiting
Quality program to reduce hospital readmissions for heart failure
This trial tests whether a new hospital “quality improvement” program can lower the chances of coming back to the hospital after being admitted for acute heart failure. It focuses on social needs (like resources and support) that can affect recovery and readmissions.
Olathe, KansasAges 18–99 - NCT07268170Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Heart rate control before heart CT scan
This trial tests two medicines to lower heart rate before a cardiac CT scan in adults who need the scan. It is for people whose heart rate is naturally a bit fast (over 65 beats per minute) but not too fast (under 100 bpm).
HerningAges 30–80 - NCT04844801Recruiting
Prevent fast heart rhythms during sepsis shock with rate control drugs
This trial tests whether a heart-rate–controlling medication can better manage a new fast heart rhythm that happens during sepsis shock. It may help reduce heart strain and improve safety compared with standard care.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06780293RecruitingPhase 2
Laser acupuncture for dry eye and Sjogren's dry eye
This study tests if laser acupuncture can help people with dry eye symptoms, including those with Sjogren's syndrome, which causes dryness in the eyes and mouth. It may be a good fit if you have dry eye or Sjogren's and meet the age and eye test requirements.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 20–75 - NCT07756723RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing PTSD treatments for veterans with substance use
This study compares two proven treatments for veterans who have both PTSD and substance use problems. It aims to find which treatment works best to help with trauma recovery.
Coatesville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06138457Recruiting
How a hands-on exam affects stress in medical students
This study looks at how a type of hands-on exam (the OSCE) affects stress levels in medical students. If you're a medical student willing to join, you can help researchers understand exam stress better.
Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 18 years+ - NCT07000175Recruiting
Heart rate measurement on arm vs. chest during nerve stimulation
This study compares two ways of measuring heart rate variability (a sign of how well your nervous system is working) during a gentle nerve stimulation therapy. It looks for healthy volunteers to see if a simple arm measurement works as well as a chest measurement.
Trabzon, OrtahisarAges 18–45 - NCT06110962Recruiting
Testing a sleep monitor for heart rate and breathing
This trial is testing an under-mattress device called Sleeptracker-AI to see how well it measures heart rate, breathing, and sleep patterns. It may help people with suspected sleep apnoea get easier sleep monitoring at home.
Macquarie Park, New South WalesAges 20–90 - NCT04959838Recruiting
Study of job stress in eye doctors and trainees
This study looks at job stress among ophthalmologists (eye doctors) and ophthalmology residents. It may help improve working conditions and support for people in eye care.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18–65 - NCT04829877Recruiting
Study stress changes in women trying to get pregnant
This study follows how emotional distress changes over time in women who are starting infertility treatment and trying to conceive. It may help researchers understand what support might be most helpful during the start of fertility care.
TaipeiAges 20–60 - NCT04391465Recruiting
Blood flow and heart rate during a heart procedure study
This study looks at how changes in blood flow in the brain relate to heart rate during a specific heart rhythm procedure. It may help doctors better understand how the body’s brain and heart responses connect during temporary pacing.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–70 - NCT06744413Recruiting
Prehabilitation to improve heart rate variability before cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a personalized prehabilitation program, delivered via a smartphone app, can improve heart rate variability (a measure of nervous system health) in people preparing for major cancer surgery. Participation may help you recover better after surgery.
CataniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05731856Recruiting
Using a phone tool to improve stress control in doctors
This study tests whether changing your heart-rate patterns using a phone tool can help doctors better manage stress. You may be asked to use study methods for a period of time to see if stress improves.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07109076Recruiting
Immediate skin contact after C-section and baby's heart rate
This study looks at how holding your baby skin-to-skin right after a planned C-section affects their heart rate patterns. It may help understand benefits for you and your newborn.
Ljubljana, LjubljanaAges birth+ - NCT07548723Enrolling by invitation
Nerve Stimulation Device Reliability Study
This study tests how reliably a small ear-stimulation device measures heart-rhythm patterns. Researchers want to see if the device gives consistent readings across multiple measurement sessions, which could help doctors monitor heart health in the future.
SinopAges 18–40 - NCT06455527Recruiting
Heart-guided brain stimulation for depression
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, guided by your heart rate, can help improve depression symptoms. If you have mild to moderate depression and are not on medication, you may be eligible.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for heart rate?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 131 recruiting heart rate 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 heart rate 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 heart rate 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.
