Melatonin for heart muscle protection
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding melatonin to standard heart medication helps protect the heart muscle in people with cardiomyopathy. If you are stable on your current heart meds, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older with a doctor-confirmed diagnosis of cardiomyopathy
- Your heart condition is stable while taking standard medications (like ACE inhibitors or beta-blockers)
- You have not been hospitalized for heart problems in the last 3 months
- You do not have severe kidney or liver disease
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant in the next 6 months
- You have not taken melatonin before (and had an allergic reaction) and are not in another research study

This trial tests if adding melatonin to standard care helps improve heart function and reduce inflammation in women with peripartum cardiomyopathy, a type of heart failure that occurs around childbirth. It may offer a new way to support heart recovery.
This study looks at whether melatonin (a hormone-like sleep aid) can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events (like heart attack or stroke) and malignant tumors (cancers) in older adults. You may be considered if you are in the right age range and do not have certain prior conditions or medications.
This study tests whether melatonin can help improve heart health in midlife women with high blood pressure. It involves taking a melatonin pill or placebo for several weeks and checking blood pressure and other health markers.
This trial tests whether adding metoprolol (a beta-blocker) to usual care can prevent or slow cardiomyopathy (heart muscle weakness) in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). It also checks for safety, especially effects on heart rate and rhythm.
This trial tests whether taking melatonin can help people with active lupus (SLE) feel better. It is for adults aged 18–60 whose lupus is active but not life-threatening, and who have been on stable medications for the last 3 months.
This study tests whether taking 5 mg of melatonin can improve thinking and brain health over time in older adults with early, mild symptoms. You may help researchers learn which brain changes and measures improve with melatonin.
