NCT ID NCT05341544

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

Summary

This study tested a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear to reduce frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), a type of heart palpitation. Sixty adults who could not take or did not benefit from standard heart medications participated. The goal was to see if this safe, drug-free approach could lower the number of daily PVCs and improve quality of life.
