Heart failure nerve stimulation study fizzles out

NCT ID NCT03945058

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested if a gentle nerve stimulation (like a mild electrical pulse on the neck) could improve blood vessel health and memory in people with heart failure. Only 7 people took part before the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if 4 weeks of stimulation could reduce inflammation and improve artery function, but results are limited due to the small size.
