Treatment for frequent extra heartbeats using a simple patch
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-surgery treatment (using a skin patch) for people who have frequent extra heartbeats coming from the heart’s lower chambers. It’s meant to see whether the patch reduces symptoms or abnormal heart rhythm compared with usual care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with frequent premature ventricular contractions (extra beats from the lower heart chambers)
- Your heart rhythm severity is in the range called Lown level 2 to 4A
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You agree to join the study
- You do not have major heart or circulation problems listed in the trial (like severe valve disease or unstable angina)

This trial tests whether a gentle nerve-stimulation device worn on the ear can reduce dangerous heart-rhythm problems. There are two groups: one for people with frequent extra heartbeats (PVCs) and one for people with a defibrillator who have had repeated episodes of a more serious rhythm problem (VT).
This study compares two treatments for people with frequent extra heartbeats (PVCs): a procedure called catheter ablation or medications. It aims to find which works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial tests a new way to treat dangerous fast heart rhythms from the lower heart chambers, using a technique called pulsed field ablation. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for people with frequent premature beats, sustained rapid heartbeats, or life-threatening rhythm problems.
This trial tests a new way to treat rapid heartbeats from the lower chambers (ventricles) using a special catheter that delivers short electrical pulses to stop the abnormal signals. It may help people with extra beats (PVCs) or a fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) that needs treatment.
This study tests a new catheter-based treatment for people with certain types of very fast or extra heartbeats that come from the lower chambers of the heart. The catheter uses a special energy to stop the abnormal beats and might help if you have had symptoms despite other treatments.
This trial tests a safe, noninvasive way to stimulate a nerve in your ear (the vagus nerve) to see how it affects your heart and blood vessels. Eligible volunteers must be healthy adults between 18 and 45, not taking heart or mood medications.
