About this study
Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Ultrasound Modulation of Stellate Ganglion for the Prevention of Ventricular Arrhythmia in Patients With ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Multicenter, Double-blind Randomised Controlled Trial
The goal of this multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) stellate ganglion modulation for preventing ventricular arrhythmias after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Read more
- Does LIFU reduce the frequency and duration of ventricular arrhythmias within 72 hours post-PCI compared to sham ultrasound?
- Does LIFU improve electrophysiological stability, myocardial injury markers, cardiac function and heart rate variability, and reduce inflammatory markers and sympathetic neurotransmitters?
- What is the safety profile of LIFU in this population?
100 eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either active LIFU (2.0W, 1MHz, 50% duty cycle, 30min per session: 1 intra-PCI session + 7 daily post-PCI sessions) plus standard care, or identical sham ultrasound plus standard care. A comprehensive double-blind design (subjects, operators, assessors, statisticians) will be implemented. The study will run from May 2026 to April 2027 at 7 centers in China, led by Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University.
Participants will:
- Complete pre-PCI screening and baseline assessments (informed consent, demographic/medical history, physical examination, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, blood sample collection) within 12 hours of symptom onset
- Receive 1 assigned ultrasound intervention during PCI, followed by 1 daily intervention for 7 consecutive days postoperatively
- Undergo 72h continuous ECG monitoring post-PCI, blood sampling at baseline and postoperative days 1, 3, 7, and echocardiography assessment at postoperative day 7
- Have all adverse events and arrhythmias recorded throughout the study
- May withdraw voluntarily at any time without affecting routine medical care
- Being tested
- Ultrasound modulation of the left stellate ganglion, Sham ultrasound modulation of the left stellate ganglion

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Ultrasound modulation of the left stellate ganglion in people with Acute ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (Patients Undergoing Emergency PCI), run by Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University at 7 sites in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Songyun Wang, MD (+86 13871262107, wsy7982@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of ventricular arrhythmias (time frame: 72 hours after PCI). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Aug 2026.
