Study Plan: Using electrical nerve stimulation to control atrial fibrillation Aim 1 will test the hypothesis that subcutaneous (Aim 1A) and transcutaneous (Aim 1B) electrical nerve stimulation are effective in reducing the frequencies of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) and the ventricular rate in patients with severe symptomatic AF unresponsive to conventional therapies. Aim 2 will test the hypothesis that in healthy subjects, electroacupuncture or TENS at LI-4 and LI-11 can acutely activate or suppress skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA). We further hypothesize that chronic TENS will reduce sympathetic output in humans. If confirmed, repeated TENS may be used in the future clinical trials to control AF.

研究计划：使用电神经刺激控制心房颤动 AIM 1将检验地下（AIM 1A）和经皮（AIM 1B）的假设 电神经刺激可有效降低阵发性心房的频率 严重症状AF的患者的纤颤（AF）和心室率无反应 常规疗法。 AIM 2将检验以下假设：在健康受试者中，在LI-4和 Li-11可以急性激活或抑制皮肤交感神经活性（SKNA）。我们进一步 假设慢性数TEN将减少人类的交感神经产出。如果确认， 在将来的临床试验中可以使用重复数TENS来控制AF。
