Nerve block trial for heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a nerve block procedure to improve heart function in people with heart failure and reduced pumping ability. It aims to see if blocking certain nerves can help you feel better and be more active.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure with reduced pumping ability (ejection fraction below 50%).
- You have symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue during mild activity (NYHA class II or III).
- Your heart failure medications have been stable for at least one month.
- Your kidney function is adequate (GFR at least 15).
- Your heart rate increases by at least 10 beats per minute when you walk for 6 minutes.

This trial tests a procedure that uses energy to calm overactive nerves in the kidney, which may help improve heart failure symptoms. It is for people with heart failure who are already on the best available medicines but still have symptoms.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a device to calm overactive nerves in the lung's blood vessels. It is for heart failure patients who also have high blood pressure in their lungs, to see if it can help them breathe easier and feel better.
This study tests an experimental medicine called NNC0537-1482 for people with heart failure. It aims to see if the medicine helps improve symptoms and heart function.
This trial tests a non-invasive device that sends gentle electrical pulses to a nerve in your ear (vagus nerve) to see if it improves heart function in people with chronic heart failure. If you have heart failure with a reduced pumping ability, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a device that uses a catheter to deliver energy to nerves around the pulmonary arteries, aiming to reduce high blood pressure in the lungs caused by left heart failure. It is for people with ongoing heart failure symptoms despite optimal medications.
This study tests a new procedure that uses heat to target a nerve near the kidneys. The goal is to reduce heart failure symptoms and improve heart function. It is for people with moderate heart failure who are already on standard medicines.
