Clinical Trial Summary

This RCT aims to determine if it is possible to perform acupuncture on men and women diagnosed with stable angina who have symptoms, chest pain, and/or chest discomfort. The investigators want to determine if acupuncture reduces the pain and other symptoms of angina, chest pain, and chest discomfort. The investigators also want to examine whether this study is acceptable to the participants, and by carrying out this study the investigators will be able to tell how many participants they will need in a future larger study to further test acupuncture to reduce the symptoms of angina in women.


Clinical Trial Description

The investigators are conducting a RCT aimed at gathering feasibility, and initial efficacy for a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the effect of acupuncture on anginal symptoms, chest pain, and chest discomfort in men and women. The investigators long term goal is pain and symptom management resulting in improved functional status and quality of life for men and women with stable angina, chest pain, and chest discomfort. This study will include 69 community dwelling men and women with a medically confirmed diagnosis of stable angina, chest pain which includes non-ischemic or ischemic cardiomyopathy, microvascular coronary dysfunction (MCD), heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), or chest discomfort whose pain and associated symptoms have not been completely controlled with guideline-directed medical management. The investigators will use a randomized attention control design with 13 men and women assigned to initial acupuncture and 13 to control. Participants in the experimental group will receive a standardized acupuncture point prescription two treatments per week, for 5 weeks. The attention control group will receive non-pain related video health education over 5 weeks equal to the approximate 10 hours of treatment for the acupuncture group. ;
