Music during atrial fibrillation ablation under light sedation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether listening to music during a common heart procedure for atrial fibrillation (called catheter ablation) can improve your experience while you are awake but relaxed. It may help you feel calmer and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a way to perform catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation using a non-fluoroscopic lab, meaning no x-ray is needed during the procedure. It may help patients avoid radiation exposure.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (lighter sedation vs. deeper sleep) during a procedure called pulsed field ablation, which treats irregular heartbeats. The study aims to determine which anesthesia approach works best and is safest for patients like you.
This trial tests a streamlined sedation approach during pulsed-field ablation, a newer technique to treat irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation). Researchers want to confirm it's safe and practical.
This trial tests if acupuncture can help prevent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm) from coming back after a procedure called catheter ablation. If you have had ablation and your heart rhythm is back to normal, this study may help you stay in a healthy rhythm.
This study investigates whether a catheter ablation procedure can improve wellbeing and reduce the risk of serious events for people 80 and older with symptomatic atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if this treatment offers better outcomes than standard care in this age group.
This trial tests a mild sedation method using remimazolam and fentanyl during a procedure called pulsed-field ablation for atrial fibrillation (afib). It aims to find a safe and effective way to keep you comfortable without deep sedation.
