Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Targeting the Stellate Ganglion for Regulating Autonomic Nerve Function and Sleep Quality in Perioperative Patients With Cardiovascular Diseases (US-REST)

12. Mai 2026 aktualisiert von: Songyun Wang, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University

Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Targeting the Stellate Ganglion for Regulating Autonomic Nerve Function and Sleep Quality in Perioperative Patients With Cardiovascular Diseases: A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized 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 improving autonomic function and sleep quality in perioperative cardiovascular disease patients.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. Does LIFU improve heart rate variability and sleep characteristics from baseline at 3-7 days post-surgery compared to sham ultrasound?
  2. Does LIFU improve serological markers, vital signs, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and reduce >30-second perioperative arrhythmias?
  3. What is the safety profile of LIFU in this population? 200 eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either active LIFU (2.0W, 1MHz, 50% duty cycle, 30min daily for 3-7 days) plus standard care, or identical sham ultrasound plus standard care. A four-party double-blind design (subjects, operators, assessors, analysts) will be implemented. The study will run from May 1, 2026 to April 1, 2027 at 6 centers in China.

Participants will:

  1. Complete pre-surgery screening and baseline assessments (PSQI, 12h ECG/sleep monitoring, residual blood sample collection)
  2. Receive daily assigned ultrasound intervention for 3-7 consecutive days post-surgery
  3. Undergo 72h continuous ECG monitoring post-surgery, and repeat assessments at 3-7 days
  4. Have all adverse events and arrhythmias recorded throughout the study
  5. May withdraw voluntarily at any time without affecting routine medical care

Waffen und Interventionen

Teilnehmergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandlung
Experimental: Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU) Intervention Arm
Subjects in this arm will receive low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) intervention on the left stellate ganglion. Ultrasound parameters: power 2.0 W, frequency 1 MHz, 50% duty cycle, 30 minutes per session, once daily for 3-7 consecutive days. All subjects will receive guideline-concordant standard perioperative cardiovascular care, including surgery and indicated medications.
The experimental group receives active low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) treatment: the ultrasound probe is placed on the skin surface corresponding to the left stellate ganglion and fixed with a mechanical arm, with parameters set as power 2.0W, frequency 1MHz, duty cycle 50%, 30 minutes per session, once daily for 3-7 consecutive days. All enrolled subjects receive standard perioperative cardiovascular care simultaneously throughout the study period.
Placebo-Komparator: Sham Ultrasound Control Arm (Placebo)
Subjects in this arm will receive sham ultrasound intervention with identical operational procedures, device appearance, and parameter settings (no actual energy output) as the intervention arm. Sessions are once daily for 3-7 consecutive days. All subjects will receive the same guideline-concordant standard perioperative cardiovascular care as the intervention arm.
The control group receives sham low-intensity focused ultrasound intervention: the ultrasound probe is placed on the skin surface corresponding to the left stellate ganglion and fixed with a mechanical arm, with the same instrument appearance, operation process, parameter setting display (power 2.0W, frequency 1MHz, duty cycle 50%), duration (30 minutes per session, once daily for 3-7 consecutive days) and subject experience as the experimental group, but no actual ultrasound energy is output. All enrolled subjects receive standard perioperative cardiovascular care simultaneously throughout the study period.
