Pacemaker approach for slow heart rate symptoms
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how improving the heart’s “autonomic nerves” and using pacemaker therapy may help people with symptomatic slow heart rate (sinus bradycardia). It aims to treat symptoms while carefully selecting people who don’t already meet standard “must-get-a-pacemaker” criteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have symptoms from slow heart rate caused by the sinus node (sinus bradycardia).
- Your doctors say you do not meet the usual top-priority reasons for a pacemaker (class I indications).
- You should not have heart structure problems or a history of heart surgery.
- Your slow heart rate should not be caused by medications, and certain test results must be below specific thresholds.

This study tests whether optimized pacemaker settings can improve heart function and symptoms in heart failure patients who need a pacemaker for a slow heartbeat. The goal is to find the best way to program the pacemaker to help your heart work better.
This study tests a catheter procedure to treat a slow heart rate (bradycardia) that causes symptoms like dizziness or fainting. It may be an option for people who haven't had a pacemaker and whose heart can still speed up with medication.
This study compares a procedure called cardioneuroablation with staying on permanent pacing in people who have symptoms from a slow heart rate. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for reducing symptoms related to sinus node or heart conduction problems.
This trial tests a new pacemaker placement technique for people with a slow heartbeat (sinus node dysfunction) who need a pacemaker anyway. The goal is to see if this special placement can help prevent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that can cause stroke and other complications.
This test uses a procedure to ablate (destroy) specific nerves in the heart that may be causing your heart to beat too slowly. The goal is to help your heart speed up naturally when needed, so you may avoid needing a permanent pacemaker.
This trial tests how pacing from a specific part of the heart (a “bundle” pacing approach) can affect people with heart failure and/or slow heart rhythms. It may help certain patients whose heart rhythm is too slow or who need a pacemaker and related devices.
