Physical Activity and Pacemaker Study
NCT03052829 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The benefits of regular physical activity are well-established. Furthermore, the investigators have previously shown that in a population of patients with implanted pacemakers, those who exercise more than 2 hours daily have improved survival compared with those who exercise less than 2 hours daily. In this study, the aim f the investigators is to determine whether the offering subjects with pacemakers who have low levels of physical activity at baseline counseling to increase physical activity levels is effective as measured by their implanted device as well as by an external pacemaker. The investigators seek to enroll about 30 patients into a 6-month 1:1 randomized interventional trial comparing the levels of physical activity in 2 groups, those who receive physical activity counseling versus usual care. The activity levels will be measured with external pedometers and with accelerometers embedded within the pacemaker device.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03052829
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03052829 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 21 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Medical College of Wisconsin, which has 614 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 4 conditions, with Cardiovascular Diseases appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Usual care is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03052829 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Wisconsin. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
