Biofeedback for managing paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether biofeedback—a technique that helps you learn to control your body's stress responses—can help people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes) manage their condition better. If you have this kind of AFib and are otherwise stable, this study may be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have been diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib that starts and stops on its own)
- Your condition is stable and well-managed with your current treatments
- You do not have other serious heart problems (like heart failure, unstable angina, or a recent heart attack or stroke)
- You do not have a pacemaker or heart transplant in the last 6 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses two types of energy (pulsed field and radiofrequency) to fix the heart's electrical signals in people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib that comes and goes). It aims to be more effective and safer than standard ablation alone.
This trial tests a new type of heart procedure that uses gentle electrical pulses to fix abnormal signals in the upper chambers of the heart for people with a specific type of atrial fibrillation that comes and goes on its own. It may be an option if your AFib episodes stop within 7 days and medications haven't helped enough.
This trial tests a new balloon device that uses gentle energy pulses to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It may help people whose AF has not improved with medication.
This study tests a new type of catheter ablation (a procedure that uses energy to treat irregular heartbeats) for atrial fibrillation—a common heart rhythm problem. You may qualify if you have recurring irregular heartbeats that haven't responded well to heart medications and are planning to have this procedure.
This study tests whether using a Fitbit activity tracker and a supportive exercise program helps people with AFib become more active. It may help you feel better and manage your heart rhythm.
This study tests if a specific exercise program can reduce how often atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) happens. If you have non-permanent atrial fibrillation and are willing to follow an exercise plan, this trial might help you manage your condition.
