Light therapy for advanced heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive light therapy (photobiomodulation) for people with advanced heart failure who cannot have a heart transplant. It aims to see if this gentle light treatment can improve your symptoms and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a low dose of radiation to the whole heart can help people with very advanced heart failure. It is for people who have severe symptoms despite maximum medications and are not candidates for a heart pump or transplant.
This study tests a new radiation treatment for advanced heart failure. It aims to see if radiation can improve heart function and symptoms.
This trial tests a treatment made from stem cells that are turned into heart muscle cells and injected directly into the heart. It is for people with advanced heart failure who are already on the best available medicines and who are scheduled to have bypass surgery.
This trial tests if using a combination of biomarkers can help personalize treatment for people with a specific type of heart failure called HFpEF (or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction). It aims to find better treatments based on your individual test results.
This trial tests if a low dose of radiation to the heart can help people with advanced heart failure feel better and improve heart function. It is for patients whose heart failure is stable but severe, and who are already on the best medications.
This trial tests a new device that delivers a gentle electrical current to the heart to improve its pumping strength. It is for people with a certain type of heart failure caused by weak heart muscle, not a blocked artery.
