Nerve stimulation after heart attack to prevent future events
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive nerve stimulation device on the neck to see if it reduces the risk of another heart attack or related complications in people who recently had a heart attack. Participation lasts about 24 hours after initial treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a gentle, non-invasive ear stimulation device can help relieve depression in people who have had a heart attack and a stent placed. It aims to offer a drug-free option for those who choose not to take antidepressants or see a therapist.
This trial tests whether a gentle nerve-stimulation device worn on the ear can reduce dangerous heart-rhythm problems. There are two groups: one for people with frequent extra heartbeats (PVCs) and one for people with a defibrillator who have had repeated episodes of a more serious rhythm problem (VT).
This trial tests if a gentle ear stimulation device can protect the heart after lung surgery in patients aged 60 and older. It is for those having a planned lung procedure (lobectomy, segmentectomy, or wedge resection) through small chest incisions.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve can reduce inflammation and brain injury after a stroke caused by a large blood clot.
This study tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in your neck (the vagus nerve) to see if it can help people with chronic heart failure. The treatment is given through the skin, no surgery needed.
This trial tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation device (tVNS) applied to the ear is safe and practical for patients recovering from a specific type of brain bleed. It aims to see if this non-invasive treatment might help recovery after the aneurysm is repaired.
