Application of Mindfulness Meditation Based on Brain Computer Interface in Radiofrequency Ablation

In recent years, radiofrequency ablation has gradually become a first-line treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation. Radiofrequency ablation is an invasive procedure that lasts several hours, patients can experience varying degrees of discomfort and pain despite the use of analgesics. Mindfulness meditation requires the trainer to focus on breathing during the training process, while being non-critical and consciously observing various sensations on the body. It has a good effect in reducing pain, fatigue, negative emotions and strengthening coping with stressful events. With the rapid development of science and technology, meditation is no longer confined to traditional forms. The meditation method with the help of mobile communication technology and brain-computer interface technology can improve efficiency and convenience, and is more personalized. It has been recognized in many studies. The brain-computer interface is to establish a channel between the human brain and the computer that does not rely on conventional brain information output. Using techniques such as electroencephalogram, the spontaneous biopotential of the brain is amplified and recorded from the scalp. This study aims to explore the impact of mindfulness meditation with devices based on brain-computer interface technology on patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation. In order to improve the negative experience of patients during ablation, ensure the safety of patients during ablation, promote postoperative recovery, and increase satisfaction. The pain intensity, fatigue level, anxiety and depression of the meditation group and the control group were compared by the scale. Record relevant vital signs and adverse events. The investigators hypothesized that the pain, fatigue, anxiety and depression of the meditation group would be lower than those of the control group.
