Vagus nerve stimulation for type B aortic dissection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve in the ear to reduce inflammation and help control blood pressure after a type B aortic dissection. It might help your body recover more smoothly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a type B aortic dissection that is not complicated.
- You can be enrolled within 24 hours of arriving at the hospital.
- You have not had a previous aortic dissection.
- You do not have a genetic condition that affects your aorta.
- Your dissection was not caused by a recent medical procedure.

This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure (TEVAR) can improve blood flow and help the aorta heal in people with a certain type of aortic dissection. It may be an option if your dissection is causing symptoms or is at high risk of complications.
This study tests a minimally invasive procedure called TEVAR to repair a type B aortic dissection (a tear in the wall of the main artery from your heart). It may help prevent further damage and improve recovery.
This trial tests two different stent procedures to repair a torn aorta in people with severe narrowing that limits blood flow to organs. It compares the usual stent method with a new one to see which gives better results.
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 trial studies whether stimulating a nerve near the ear (auricular VNS) can help after a spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage, a type of bleeding around the brain. If you qualify, you may receive the ear stimulation as an added treatment while doctors monitor your recovery.
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.
