Non-Invasive Median Nerve Stimulation to Attenuate Atrial Tachyarrhythmias After Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
Conditions: Atrial Fibrillation
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 51
Sponsor: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Location: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai New York New York
Summary
Determine the role of vagal/median nerve stimulation using the CardiaCare RR2 home care wearable neuromodulation system on suppressing atrial arrhythmias and related symptoms in patients who have undergone AF ablation. The study population will be comprised of adults (age ≥18 yrs.) who have undergone AF ablation for paroxysmal or persistent AF.
The study will assess the ability of neuromodulation, using the CardiaCare RR2 home care wearable, to suppress the following:
1. early (0-2 months) post-ablation arrhythmias that occur in the immediate post-ablation time period
2. AF/AT/AFL recurrences between months 2-6 post-ablation.This is a prospective, controlled, double-blind, randomized trial. The first 15 patients will not be randomized and will receive the active median/vagal stimulation only (open label).
The Study will be conducted in up to 1 clinical site in the United States. This study will have 1:1 randomization (active median/vagal stimulation vs sham). The study has been given NSR designation from FDA--NO IDE.
