Pacemaker thinking and memory support study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new program called PACE Cognition to see if it can help people who are getting a pacemaker for a slow heartbeat. The study will check how the program affects your thinking and memory over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must need a pacemaker because your heart beats too slowly (a condition called bradycardia).
- You must be able to understand and answer a questionnaire about your thinking and memory.
- You cannot be a child, pregnant, in prison, or a vulnerable adult who cannot give consent.
- You must be able to speak and read English.
- You cannot be a student or employee of the researcher, or an active member of the military.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests how pacing from a specific part of the heart (a “bundle” pacing approach) can affect people with heart failure and/or slow heart rhythms. It may help certain patients whose heart rhythm is too slow or who need a pacemaker and related devices.
This trial is testing a new type of pacemaker system. It may be an option for adults who need a single-chamber ventricular pacemaker and are generally in good health.
This trial tests a new pacing system designed to improve how pacemakers work. It may help people who need a pacemaker with left bundle branch area pacing.
This study tests whether a specific pacemaker heart-rate setting helps control blood pressure and improve heart function in adults over 65 with slow heartbeats and high blood pressure. You would receive a dual-chamber pacemaker (a standard treatment) and be monitored to see how the rate setting affects your health.
This study tests whether optimized pacemaker settings can improve heart function and symptoms in heart failure patients who need a pacemaker for a slow heartbeat. The goal is to find the best way to program the pacemaker to help your heart work better.
This trial compares two ways to place a heart pacemaker in patients with an abnormally wide heartbeat pattern. Researchers want to see if a newer pacing technique that targets the heart's natural conduction system works better than traditional pacing methods.
