Recovery after pacemaker or defibrillator surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial studies a new rehabilitation program for people who are getting a pacemaker or defibrillator implanted or upgraded. The goal is to help you recover faster and better after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a pacemaker or defibrillator implanted, or you already have one and need to add new wires (leads).
- You must be over 18 years old.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not be in another study about heart devices right now.
- If you already have a pacemaker, you cannot join if you only need to replace the battery (pulse generator) without adding new wires.

This study tests a device called a shoulder pacemaker to help with recovery after shoulder replacement surgery. It may help you regain strength and movement faster.
This trial studies whether adding a structured exercise program after an ICD implant is safe and helpful for people with certain heart rhythm problems. You may qualify if you can comfortably walk daily and can follow the study schedule for several months.
This trial compares two styles of “post-surgery instructions” after implantation of a new heart device lead. It may help determine which approach is better for patients’ recovery and safety after the procedure.
This trial looks at how to manage and check implanted heart devices (pacemakers/defibrillators) during and around a planned procedure. It may help teams improve safety and decision-making during surgery or catheter procedures.
This study tests a new alert system for people with pacemakers or defibrillators that can send information directly to your care team. The goal is to improve how quickly problems are found and treated.
