Test of heart and brain control in healthy adults
This study looks at how the heart and brain control itself in otherwise healthy adults. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with normal heart rhythm and no nerve-system problems affecting control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 18 years.
- Your heart rhythm must be normal (called sinus rhythm).
- You must be able and willing to sign informed consent (agree to join).
- You should not have conditions that affect your autonomic nervous system (your body’s automatic control system).

This trial uses a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see how it affects how people process information. It may help researchers understand brain function in healthy younger and older adults.
This trial tests if a simple, at-home arm cuff treatment (Remote Ischaemic Conditioning) can improve blood flow regulation in the brain of older adults. It may help understand how to protect brain health as we age.
This study looks at how the heart, blood vessels, and brain work together in healthy adults. It may help us understand normal body function.
This trial looks at how blood pressure and heart rate change when standing up or exercising in healthy people and in older adults with high blood pressure. It aims to understand how the body's automatic (autonomic) nervous system controls these functions.
This study looks at how well the body’s automatic nerve functions (like heart and blood pressure control) work after a traumatic spinal cord injury. The goal is to better understand preserved nerve function and autonomic (automatic body) control, which could help guide future treatments.
This study looks at how your brain and blood vessels work together to keep you balanced as you age. It may help researchers understand why some people stay steady on their feet and others don't.
