About
This prospective, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (TAVNS) for patients with frequent premature ventricular coomplexes (FPVCs). Ninety participants will be randomized to TAVNS group and sham-TAVNS group with the ratio of 1:1. They will receive TAVNS plus usual care or sham-TAVNS plus usual care for 6 weeks, and then be followed up for 12 weeks after the treatment. The primary outcome was the proportion of participants with a 50% decrease of the 24 hour (24h) premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) after 6-week treatment. Secondary outcomes include the proportion of participants with a 75% decrease of the 24h-PVCs; the decrease from baseline of 24h-PVCs, total 24h-heartbeat, and the frequency of supraventricular arrhythmia; the score change from baseline in PVCs-related symptoms; the score change from baseline in SAS and SDS. Subgroup analyses will be performed in age, gender, and the severity of PVCs. Safety assessment will be documented during the whole trial.
