Measuring heart pause time in fainting during tilt table test
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure how long it takes for your heart to pause during a tilt table test, in people with reflex fainting spells. The results may help doctors decide if a pacemaker is right for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with reflex syncope (fainting caused by a sudden reflex in the body).
- Your doctor recommends you might need a pacemaker for this condition.
- You do not have serious heart disease (like valve problems, blockages, or weak heart muscle).
- You are not pregnant.
- You agree to be recorded on video during the tilt table test.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people who have had repeated fainting spells and still don’t know the cause. It tests whether different types of heart monitoring (like tilt testing or an ECG/heart tracing) can better explain what’s triggering syncope and guide prevention.
This trial studies a procedure that targets a specific heart nerve area on the right side to reduce neurally mediated fainting (syncope). You may be a candidate if your fainting is linked to heart rhythm/nerve reflexes and you meet several heart-function and heart-rhythm test criteria.
This study looks at whether people who come to the hospital after a fainting spell can be safely watched for 24 hours inside the hospital, instead of being admitted for a longer stay. It may help doctors decide the best way to monitor low- and intermediate-risk fainting.
This trial studies whether remote heart monitoring after an ER visit for fainting (syncope) can help identify dangerous heart problems. You may be enrolled only if your fainting episode seems medium- to high-risk and you’re being sent home from the ER.
This trial tests if a heart monitor and a nerve-blocking procedure can help people with severe, frequent fainting spells that don’t get better with simple changes like drinking more water or avoiding triggers. The goal is to find better ways to prevent fainting and improve quality of life.
This study looks at whether using a tilt-table (a special table that tilts you upright to trigger fainting) helps doctors better understand and treat fainting caused by vasovagal syncope. If you have this type of fainting, this study could help find better ways to manage it.
