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 a non-invasive nerve stimulation treatment (using a small device on the ear) to reduce dangerous heart rhythm problems. It is for people with frequent premature heartbeats (PVCs) or with an implanted defibrillator who have had repeated episodes of a fast heart rhythm (VT).
This study compares two ways to treat premature ventricular contractions (extra heartbeats that can cause symptoms). One approach is a catheter ablation (a procedure that destroys the tissue causing the extra beats), and the other is using anti-arrhythmic drugs (medications to control the rhythm). If you have frequent PVCs and a healthy heart, this trial could help you find the best treatment.
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 trial tests a non-invasive ear stimulation device to see if it can prevent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) after heart bypass surgery. If effective, it could reduce complications and help you recover more smoothly.
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 study tests a gentle ear stimulation device that may affect heart rate and blood pressure. It aims to see if this stimulation has beneficial effects for healthy people.
