Wrist-Worn nerve stimulator aims to tame atrial fibrillation after ablation

NCT ID NCT06748157

First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a wrist-worn device called CardiaCare RR2 that stimulates the median nerve to calm irregular heart rhythms after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). About 34 adults who have had AF ablation will use the device daily for six months. Half will receive active stimulation, the other half a sham device. The goal is to see if this non-invasive approach can reduce early and later recurrences of AF and related symptoms.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

CardiaCare RR2 wrist-worn nerve stimulator

What this could lead to

If effective, this non-invasive device could help prevent atrial fibrillation recurrences after ablation without drugs or additional procedures.

What could go wrong

This is a small early-stage trial with only 34 participants. The device may not reduce arrhythmias, and some people may experience discomfort from the stimulation.
