First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looks at whether adding acupuncture to standard care can reduce the chance of atrial fibrillation returning after a heart procedure called catheter ablation. About 120 adults with persistent atrial fibrillation will be split into two groups: one gets acupuncture plus usual care, the other gets usual care alone. Researchers will track heart rhythm and quality of life for one year to see if acupuncture makes a difference.
