Heart recorder and nerve procedure for fainting
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a heart monitor and a nerve-blocking procedure can help people with severe, frequent fainting spells that don’t get better with simple changes like drinking more water or avoiding triggers. The goal is to find better ways to prevent fainting and improve quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- You have been diagnosed with reflex fainting (fainting caused by a sudden drop in heart rate or blood pressure)
- You have had at least 2 fainting spells in the last year, or at least 3 in the last 2 years, and these spells have really affected your daily life
- You have had a long heart pause (over 3 seconds) during fainting, either during daily monitoring or a tilt-table test

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies treatments for a type of fainting caused by the body’s reflex slowing the heart. It compares a permanent pacemaker with a procedure called cardiac nerve ablation to see which helps prevent fainting and improves quality of life.
This study tests a new way to detect and warn about fainting in people with certain types of syncope (temporary loss of consciousness). It may help those who have already had a specific fainting evaluation called an ARS assessment.
This trial tests a procedure called cardioneuroablation to treat severe fainting (reflex syncope) that hasn't been helped by other treatments. The goal is to see if it reduces fainting without causing dangerous heart rhythm problems.
This trial studies a procedure that targets a specific heart nerve area on the right side to reduce neurally mediated fainting (syncope). You may be a candidate if your fainting is linked to heart rhythm/nerve reflexes and you meet several heart-function and heart-rhythm test criteria.
This study tests a procedure called cardioneuroablation, which uses targeted heat (radiofrequency) to calm overactive nerves that cause your heart to beat too slowly and make you faint. The goal is to stop severe fainting spells in people with reflex syncope who haven't gotten better with other treatments.
This study tests if a procedure called cardioneuroablation can help people who faint or feel like they're about to faint due to a slow heart rate. The treatment targets the nerves around the heart to improve heart rate control and exercise capacity.
