Ear zap zaps palpitations: new hope for skipped heartbeats
NCT ID NCT05341544
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 27 times
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 standard heart medications were randomly assigned to receive either the real stimulation or a sham (fake) treatment. The goal was to see if this safe, drug-free approach could lower the number of daily PVCs and improve quality of life.
