Anti-inflammatory drugs for acute myocarditis
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen, help people with acute myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) who are hospitalized but have normal heart function. It aims to see if these drugs can reduce inflammation and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are hospitalized with confirmed acute myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and your heart pumps blood normally.
- Your troponin levels (a marker of heart damage) are at least 3 times higher than normal.
- You do not have signs of heart failure or clogged arteries (confirmed by a scan if over 40).
- You have had a heart MRI that confirms myocarditis.
- You do not have severe kidney or liver disease, poorly controlled high blood pressure, or a separate heart lining inflammation (pericarditis).
- You have not taken NSAIDs in the past 7 days and are not allergic to them.

This study tests whether steroid medicine helps people hospitalized with suspected acute myocarditis (inflammation of the heart). Participants are randomly assigned to receive steroids or a placebo, and the trial looks at outcomes after the acute episode starts.
This trial tests whether giving steroids, immunoglobulins, or both can help people with a sudden, severe heart muscle inflammation (myocarditis) that causes shock or dangerous heart rhythms. The goal is to see if these treatments improve recovery compared to standard care.
This study is creating a national registry to learn more about inflammatory myocardial disease (inflammation of the heart muscle). If you have symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or certain test results, you may be eligible to join and help advance research.
This study tests a new imaging technique that might better detect heart muscle inflammation (myocarditis). It uses a special contrast agent and ultrasound to see inflammation more clearly, which could help guide treatment.
This study follows people who have been hospitalized for a sudden inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) to understand their risk of developing irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). It aims to identify who might need closer monitoring or extra treatment to prevent complications.
This study looks back at people who were hospitalized for myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) to see if a special measurement of blood flow in the tiny heart vessels can predict how well they do over the next year. The findings might help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
