Electrical Stimulation for Low Blood Pressure During TAVR
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether electrical stimulation at specific points on the body can help prevent low blood pressure during TAVR, a minimally invasive heart valve procedure. It may help people who are at risk for blood pressure drops during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a TAVR procedure (a heart valve replacement done through a tube in an artery) under general anesthesia.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 30 (a measure of weight relative to height).
- You do not have unstable blood pressure or heart rhythm problems, and you are not already on medicine for low blood pressure.
- You do not have severe liver or kidney problems, and you have no skin infections, damage, or implanted electronic devices where the electrical pads would be placed.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of a small nerve in the ear (called the vagus nerve) can reduce inflammation and lower the chance of atrial fibrillation returning after a standard heart procedure called pulsed field ablation. It may help improve recovery and long-term heart rhythm control.
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 study tests whether electrical acupoint stimulation (a gentle, needle-free technique that uses small electrical pulses on specific body points) can help prevent low blood pressure during anesthesia for abdominal surgery. It may be useful for older adults who want to reduce the risk of blood pressure dips during their operation.
This study tests a gentle electrical stimulation applied to specific points on the body (acupoints) to see if it can help lower mildly high blood pressure without medication. It might be a non-drug option for managing blood pressure.
This trial studies whether electro-acupuncture can improve blood pressure in people with mild coronary artery disease or high blood pressure. If it works, it may offer a non-medicine approach to better blood pressure control.
This study tests whether direct electrical stimulation of brain areas that help control blood pressure can safely change blood pressure. It may help researchers understand how to treat blood pressure problems in the future.
