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 study compares two muscle relaxant drugs to see which works better and is safer for people having a painless bronchoscopy (a procedure to look inside the lungs). It aims to improve comfort and safety during the procedure.
This study is testing a new way to predict how quickly a muscle relaxant (rocuronium) works during surgery. The aim is to give each patient the right dose for their body, which may help anaesthesia start more smoothly and safely.
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 study compares a new muscle relaxant medication with a standard one to see how well they work for placing a breathing tube and maintaining muscle relaxation during surgery. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
This study tests two different muscle relaxant drugs—rocuronium and succinylcholine—to see which one helps doctors place a breathing tube faster during emergency anesthesia. It may be a good fit for people who need general anesthesia for surgery and have either a high body mass index or a difficult airway.
