Muscle relaxants for safer heart rhythm treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if giving muscle relaxants before a heart ablation procedure can protect muscles from damage. Ablation uses energy to fix irregular heartbeats, and muscle relaxants might make it safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a heart ablation procedure (PFA) for an irregular heartbeat.
- You must be able to understand and agree to join the study.
- You cannot have allergies to any of the anesthesia medicines used.
- You cannot have a genetic muscle disease like Duchenne dystrophy or myasthenia gravis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether a small dose of a muscle-relaxing medicine works safely for people having surgery under general anesthesia. You might be a candidate if you fit the age and surgical setup, and you don’t have certain health problems or medication issues.
This trial tests if different levels of muscle relaxation during abdominal surgery affect lung function and breathing problems after surgery. It may help patients who are having open abdominal surgery under general anesthesia lasting over an hour.
This trial investigates whether giving rocuronium (a muscle relaxant) before the main anesthetic can make muscles relax faster and affect heart rate and blood pressure during the start of general anesthesia. It aims to improve safety and smoothness of the process for people having planned surgery with a breathing tube.
This trial tests two muscle relaxant drugs, mivacurium chloride and succinylcholine, to see which works better and is safer for people having a painless bronchoscopy. The drugs help relax muscles during the procedure so the doctor can do the exam comfortably.
This trial compares two muscle relaxants, rocuronium and cisatracurium, to see which causes fewer complications in people with chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis) who need general anesthesia. If you have kidney disease and are having surgery that requires a breathing tube, this study may help determine the safer drug for you.
This trial tests how fast the muscle relaxant rocuronium works during surgery, and whether a patient's heart function affects its onset. It may help doctors give the right dose at the right time.
