New study aims to perfect fainting treatment by comparing imaging techniques
NCT ID NCT06472102
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a new procedure called cardioneuroablation for people with severe fainting spells. The procedure uses radio waves to target specific nerve clusters in the heart. The study will compare three methods to find these nerve clusters: electrical signals, CT scans, and ultrasound. The goal is to see which method works best to guide the procedure and improve results for patients.
