Ultrasound for Sleep and Heart Function Before Heart Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment using focused ultrasound to help regulate your nervous system and improve sleep quality before heart surgery. The goal is to help reduce anxiety and improve how well you sleep during the time leading up to and after your cardiology procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether listening to music during a common heart procedure for atrial fibrillation (called catheter ablation) can improve your experience while you are awake but relaxed. It may help you feel calmer and more comfortable.
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound procedure on the side of your neck can help prevent dangerous irregular heartbeats in patients who recently had a heart attack treated with a stent. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
This study tests whether a combination of sleep therapy, brain games, and light exercise before heart surgery can help prevent confusion or disorientation (delirium) after the operation. Participants will be asked to use a tablet and fitness tracker daily for about an hour before their surgery.
This trial tests a gentle, noninvasive ultrasound treatment (LIFU) for people with either chronic pain or generalized anxiety. The goal is to see if this focused sound wave approach can help reduce symptoms without surgery or medication.
This trial uses low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) and brain scans to see how it affects thinking. It may help researchers find new ways to treat brain conditions.
This trial tests a low-intensity ultrasound approach while measuring how your nervous system and body respond automatically (like changes in heart rate or stress signals). It may help researchers learn how to stimulate or monitor these responses safely, using imaging and standard monitoring.
