Breathing exercises in yoga are found to influence the autonomic nervous system (particularly parasympathetic) and thus reduce palpitations. This study hypothesizes that patients with atrial fibrillation might benefit by practicing yoga. Yoga may also help to better control heart rate and rhythm when used in combination with usual medical management.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '25 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation ages 25-80\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Advanced malignancy or severe co-morbid conditions such as severe heart failure and with life expectancy less than 1 year\n* Pregnant women\n* Unmedicated or uncontrolled high blood pressure\n* A past history of pneumothorax\n* Severe cervical spondylitis and cervical, thoracic or lumbar disc prolapse\n* Carotid stenosis\n* History of psychosis or substance abuse\n* History of epilepsy\n* Glaucoma\n* History of total hip replacement\n* Ablation within 3 months of the start date of study\n* Patients who have not seen a cardiovascular physician in the last year'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00798356', 'briefTitle': 'Yoga on Arrhythmia Burden and Quality of Life in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Kansas Medical Center'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Effect of Yoga on Arrhythmia Burden and Quality of Life in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '11067'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'OTHER', 'label': '1', 'description': 'Yoga training', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Yoga training']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Yoga training', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Yoga training for 12 weeks', 'armGroupLabels': ['1']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '66160', 'city': 'Kansas City', 'state': 'Kansas', 'country': 'United States', 'facility': 'University of Kansas Medical Center', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 39.11417, 'lon': -94.62746}}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy, MD, FACC', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Associate Professor of Medicine', 'investigatorFullName': 'Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy, MD, FACC', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'University of Kansas Medical Center'}}}}
