Fainting detection and early warning in syncope study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a prior fainting evaluation (ARS assessment) without problems.
- You have been diagnosed with low blood pressure when standing (orthostatic hypotension), vasovagal syncope, or were found to be normal on that assessment.
- You do not have an active implanted medical device like a pacemaker or neurostimulator.
- You are not currently pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.
- You are willing to complete all study activities.

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.
This trial tests a new intelligent diagnostic system to help diagnose orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when standing up) in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or diabetes. It uses a non-invasive ultrasound device (TCD) to monitor blood flow in the brain.
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 trial studies whether remote heart monitoring after an ER visit for fainting (syncope) can help identify dangerous heart problems. You may be enrolled only if your fainting episode seems medium- to high-risk and you’re being sent home from the ER.
This study looks at people who have had repeated fainting spells and still don’t know the cause. It tests whether different types of heart monitoring (like tilt testing or an ECG/heart tracing) can better explain what’s triggering syncope and guide prevention.
This study looks at whether people who come to the hospital after a fainting spell can be safely watched for 24 hours inside the hospital, instead of being admitted for a longer stay. It may help doctors decide the best way to monitor low- and intermediate-risk fainting.
