NCT ID NCT07487532
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding acupuncture to standard care can reduce the return of irregular heartbeats in people with persistent atrial fibrillation who have already had a catheter ablation. About 120 adults aged 20 to 75 will be randomly assigned to receive either acupuncture plus usual medical care or usual care alone. Researchers will track heart rhythm, heart structure, and quality of life for one year to see if acupuncture makes a difference.
