Non-invasive Left-sided Cervical Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Atrioventricular Reentrant Tachycardia

January 12, 2024 updated by: Jingye Tai

The goal of this Interventional clinical trials in atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia patients. The main question it aims to answer whether non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation could be effective in restoring rhythm.

Patients will receive non-invasive vagus nerve electrical stimulation under catheter evoked and cardiac monitoring to observe their heart rhythm changes.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Participants will be treated with non-invasive electrical stimulation of the left vagus nerve in the neck. After routine induction of atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia prior to radiofrequency ablation, the electrode patch was placed on the patient's left cervical vagal body surface localization, i.e., between the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the trachea where the left common carotid artery pulsation could be palpated, and resuscitation was performed using non-invasive electrical stimulation.

Experimental: Transcervical non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation group
Patient will be treated with non-invasive electrical stimulation of the left vagus nerve in the neck. After routine induction of atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia prior to radiofrequency ablation, the electrode patch was placed on the patient's left cervical vagal body surface localization, i.e., between the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the trachea where the left common carotid artery pulsation could be palpated, and resuscitation was performed using non-invasive electrical stimulation.
Patient undergoes non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation during tachycardia episodes to see if reentry is possible
