Pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation and nerve effects
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a new type of ablation (pulsed field ablation) affects the nerves around the heart, and whether that helps people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib that comes and goes). It may help you if you have this type of AFib and haven't had this procedure before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (the kind that comes and goes on its own within a week).
- You have not had a previous pulmonary vein isolation (ablation) procedure.
- You do not have a pacemaker, heart block, or sick sinus syndrome.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation (PFA) to treat irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) by isolating the veins that carry blood to your heart. It aims to see how well this procedure works and if it's safe for you.
This trial compares different standard pulse field ablation techniques to isolate the pulmonary veins and treat atrial fibrillation. It aims to find which method works best for patients who are already scheduled for this procedure.
This trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to safely stop AF episodes by targeting specific areas in the heart, and may help people with paroxysmal (coming and going) or persistent AF who haven't had this procedure before.
This study tests a new way to treat persistent atrial fibrillation using short bursts of electricity (pulsed fields) to carefully reset the heart's rhythm. It may help people whose irregular heartbeat has not improved with medication.
This study tests a new type of ablation called pulsed field ablation to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF that comes and goes). It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective at isolating the veins that trigger AF, and it may help people who still have symptoms despite medication and are having their first ablation.
This trial tests a newer ablation technique called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder. The goal is to see if this method works well and is safe for patients who need treatment.
