Internet-based Behavioral Intervention Following ACS

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate if an online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) protocol customized for patients following Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), reduce cardiac anxiety, enhance Quality of Life (QoL), and promote increased physical activity while controlling for caregiver attention, utilizing an active control group receiving internet-based cardiac lifestyle intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

ACS is a leading global cause of mortality and health-related losses. Following ACS, many individuals exhibit symptoms of anxiety and depression, recognized risk factors for recurrent cardiovascular events. Specifically, anxiety related to cardiac symptoms and avoidance behavior, known as cardiac anxiety, has been shown to increase the long-term risk of adverse cardiac events. The purpose of the present interdisciplinary research project is to develop and evaluate an online CBT protocol tailored for ACS patients. This project comprises a series of clinical studies aimed at accumulating knowledge about the most effective ways to treat ACS patients with CBT over the internet. The aim of this study is to assess whether internet-based CBT, following ACS, reduces cardiac anxiety and improves QoL, while controlling for caregiver attention and expectancy of improvement using an active control group. Method: A randomized controlled trial is conducted where participants are randomly assigned to either internet-based CBT (N=130) or internet-based cardiac lifestyle intervention (internet-CL) (N=130). The active control group receives internet-CL, focusing on lifestyle modification and health-promoting behaviors. Weekly therapist support through online written communication is provided to participants in both groups. Both treatment are conducted over 8-weeks and are comparable in terms of the number of treatment modules, intensity, and attention from the treating psychologist. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
