Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Targeting the Stellate Ganglion for Regulating Autonomic Nerve Function and Sleep Quality in Perioperative Patients With Cardiovascular Diseases (US-REST)
2026年8月19日 更新者: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:
- Does LIFU improve heart rate variability and sleep characteristics from baseline at 3-7 days post-surgery compared to sham ultrasound?
- Does LIFU improve serological markers, vital signs, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and reduce >30-second perioperative arrhythmias?
- 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:
- Complete pre-surgery screening and baseline assessments (PSQI, 12h ECG/sleep monitoring, residual blood sample collection)
- Receive daily assigned ultrasound intervention for 3-7 consecutive days post-surgery
- Undergo 72h continuous ECG monitoring post-surgery, and repeat assessments at 3-7 days
- Have all adverse events and arrhythmias recorded throughout the study
- May withdraw voluntarily at any time without affecting routine medical care

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.
