Efficacy and Safety of Ultrasound Modulation of Stellate Ganglion for the Prevention of Ventricular Arrhythmia in Patients With ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (US-PRAY)
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:
- 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
