RECRUITING

Non-invasive Vagal Stimulation for Frequent Premature Ventricular Complexes

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

A prospective sham-controlled randomized clinical trial to assess the effect of low-level tragus stimulation (LLTS) in patients with frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs)
